Mutton Kuzhambu /Mutton Gravy / Mutton Curry

I like spicy non veg cooking once in a week. It’s not only mouth watering and makes you feel

like you had a feast. After eating non veg, using toothpick for picking the left-over meat from

tooth also a kind of joy.  Mutton Gravy or Mutton Curry or Mutton Kuzhambu is one of

them. This is obviously only for those who like a little spice in their dishes. You can eat this

with rice, chappati, dosa, idli, puttu, kappa. This meal can be made easily in a pressure

cooker which is the easiest way. However cooking the normal way takes a little longer and its

adds more to the flavours. Let’s see how to make now.

Ingredients:

Mutton - 3 pound

Onion -2

Big Tomato - 1

Turmeric powder -1 tsp

Red chilli powder - 2 tsp

Coriander powder - 1 tsp

the flame and leave for some time to pressure goes off automatically.

In parallel, heat 3 tsp of oil in a pan. Once oil hot, add whole spices. This includes 1 inch

cinnamon stick, 3 green cardamom, 3 cloves, 1 small bay leaf, ½ tsp fennel seeds, ½ tsp

cumin seeds and fry it.

Then add 2 chopped onion and fry it until translucent.  

After that add 1 chopped big tomato and cook until wilted.

With this add required salt (Note that we added salt already with mutton).

Then add 2 tsp chopped coriander leaves.

Now off course Add 1 tsp red chilli powder, 1 tsp coriander powder , ½ tsp garam masala

and cook until raw smell goes out. Add ½ cup water if needed.

Now add cooked mutton with gravy and mix it. Bring this to boil.

Now add water based on your consistency.

Close with lid and cook for another 10 mins.

Finally garnish with coriander leaves.

Now the easy and tasty mutton gravy is ready to serve.
