Delicious Mutton curry. Same method is used for the spicy or mild version.
This recipe is sufficient for 4 person.
Ingredients
250g of Mutton meat cut into small pieces
2-3 green chilli depending on your spice level
4-5 red shallots or 1/2 bombay onion finely sliced
4-5 garlic cloves finely chopped
¼ piece of ginger finely chopped
¼ piece of rampe (fresh/dried)
Spring of curry leaves (fresh/dried)
½ tsp of raw curry powder
½ tsp of dry roasted powder
¼ tsp of black pepper powder
¼ tsp salt or according to your taste
¼ tsp of turmeric
½-1 tsp of chilli powder or less according to your spice level.
½ tsp of paprika
½ -1 cup of water
½ tsp of tamarind paste or fresh
½ cup of thick coconut milk (fresh/tin or powder mix with water)-optional if you like the gravy to be milky.
Method
Cut all the mutton pieces into desired size. (For me, the smaller the mutton piece is better, as it will absorb all the spice and flavors)
In a medium clay pot or in a saucepan add all the spices and mutton (except for the coconut milk /green chilli) and mix really well. Add ½ cup of water, close it with a lid and cook under medium heat for 25-35min. When you open the lid you can see the liquid has evaporated and has become a thick gravy and the mutton is cooked. At this point you can add the optional coconut milk or water and simmer it for another 10-15min. Once you are happy with the thickness of the gravy, remove from heat and serve hot with rice/bread/ string-hoppers/hoppers/ rotti, basically anything you fancy.
Note: If you like more gravy (curry) you can add more water or if you like it more creamier you can add more coconut milk.
