Instruction to prepare Mutton Masala Recipe
The first step is to marinate mutton. Take a bowl big enough that fits all the mutton pieces. Then in the bowl, add one and a half teaspoon ginger garlic paste, one-fourth turmeric powder, half teaspoon red chili powder, two tablespoons curd, and salt as per your taste.
Give it a good mix. Ensure that each piece of mutton is coated with all the spices. Cover the bowl with the lid and allow it to get for an hour. The longer you marinate, the softer and tender it gets.
After the mutton is marinated, you need to prepare a mutton masala. For that, you need to heat the pressure cooker with two tablespoons of oil on medium flame.
When the oil is hot, add one bay leaf, one-inch cinnamon stick, and two green cardamoms. Let the spices roast for two minutes.
Then add one medium size finely chopped onion and one finely chopped green chili. Cook until the onion turns golden brown.
After that, turn the flame to low, and then add marinated mutton pieces. Keep stirring the mutton for about 5 minutes. You don’t have to keep stirring continuously, but you can stir in an interval for 5 minutes.
Then allow the mutton to cook for another 10 minutes. Cover the pressure cooker with the lid and let the mutton cook. Stir the mutton occasionally.
After 10 minutes, you will notice mutton is releasing moisture. If you don’t see moisture, let the cook for few minutes. The next step should be started only after moisture is released.
Now you need to add, two teaspoon garam masala and one teaspoon red chili. Stir it well and let it cook for about 3 minutes. Don’t increase the flame. You will be working on the low flame for half of the mutton masala preparation segment.
Meanwhile, you will notice oil separating from meat. It’s time to add tomato puree. You will need two medium-size tomatoes to make a puree. If you don’t want to invest your time making tomato puree, you can also use curd instead. You can replace tomato puree with two tablespoons of curd. As you have already used curd while marinating mutton, so it’s better to use tomato puree.
Let it cook for another seven to eight minutes until the raw smell of tomato goes away. You need to keep stirring in the interval.
After 7 minutes, add two cups of water. Close the pressure cooker and let the mutton cook for two whistles on medium flame. If you use mutton with bones, you will have to cook until four whistles.
After 2 whistles, turn off the flame and release the pressure. Open the pressure cooker and stir well. If you think the gravy is running, you can simmer for few minutes until you get the right texture.
Transfer the mutton masala to the bowl, then you can add chopped coriander leaves for garnishing.
Mutton masala is ready to be served.
