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
Garam masala -½ tsp
Ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp
Cinnamon stick - 1 inch
Cloves - 2
Green cardamom - 3

Once color changes add required salt, 1 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp red chilli powder, 1 tsp
ginger garlic paste and mix it.
Add just 1 cup of water and close with lid. Pressure cook this for 7 to 8 whistles. Switch off
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.
