Spiced Mutton Curry
This recipe is a twist on the traditional mutton curry by adding some spice. The recipe is based on my own, but I used various ingredients to create a more flavorful dish. The spices are cardamom, turmeric, cumin seeds, black peppercorns, cloves, cayenne pepper, garam masala, and vegetable oil. I also added garlic cloves that were crushed and peeled with the skin on. You’ll need about 10 ounces of yogurt or sour cream for this recipe and one cup of water or tomato sauce.The first step is to heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once hot, add your crushed garlic, cardamom pods, turmeric, cumin seeds, black peppercorns, cloves, and cayenne pepper. Stir everything together well so that each spice is coated in oil. Add one teaspoon of garam masala powder to help flavor it all.Rogan Josh
- Cut up the mutton into small chunks and put them in a saucepan with onion paste, ginger paste, garlic paste, tomato puree or canned tomatoes (diced), salt, ground black pepper powder, and red chili powder.
- If you want your curry to be less spicy, use only one teaspoon of red chili powder. Add water to cover all the ingredients in the saucepan and stir well.
- Cook on high heat till it comes to a boil. Lower the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes or until the meat gets tender. Stir occasionally to prevent the meat from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Add yogurt, mint leaves, and other spices (powdered cloves, cinnamon, garam masala powder) in step 2 if you want extra flavor.
- Keep stirring when adding more water because you don’t want your curry to become too thick.
- Once done, transfer all ingredients into a blender or food processor, blend until smooth, then pour it back into a saucepan over low heat, constantly stirring so that gravy doesn’t burn.
