Mutton Masala | Amma's Mutton Masala | Easy Mutton Curry | Mutton Masala (Without Ginger and Garlic)

Here's one of my favorite mutton masala recipe. This one goes well with chapati, roti, sambar rice, pulao and biryanis too. This is one of my mom's best recipe and she serves it with either sambar or chicken biryani. It is super easy to cook so try it out someday. If you like beef or chicken you can use them instead of mutton, only the cooking time will vary. 

INGREDIENTS

Serves 3 people
Total Preparation Time - 30 minutes
  1. Mutton - 250 grams (Preferably boneless)
  2. Pearl Onions / Shallots - 6 to 8
  3. Green chillies - 1 
  4. Tomato - 1 (optional)
  5. Curry leaves - Few
  6. Cumin seeds - 3/4 teaspoon 
  7. Red chilli powder - 2 teaspoons (3 if you want it hot)
  8. Pepper powder - 1/2 teaspoon 
  9. Turmeric powder - A pinch 
  10. Mustard seeds - 1/2 teaspoon 
  11. Salt - As per taste
  12. Oil - 3 spoons 

PREPARATION METHOD

  • Wash mutton pieces and chop into medium sized pieces.
  • To a pressure cooker add the chopped mutton pieces, salt and turmeric powder, then add water until the pieces gets immersed. Close the lid and pressure cook for 10 minutes on low flame and set aside. (Do not discard the stock water/soup you'll need it in later steps)
  • Meanwhile chop onions, slit green chillies into halves, and set aside.
  • Place a pan on flame and pour oil, after it heats up add mustard seeds and let it splutter.
  • Then add cumin seeds, curry leaves, split green chillies and saute until the seeds splutter. 
  • Now add chopped onions, salt and saute well on low flame until the onions turns translucent. Add cubed tomatoes if using and saute for a few minutes. 
  • Then add the cooked mutton pieces and stir. 
  • Add red chilli powder, and saute well until the raw smell leaves.
  • Check for salt and add if necessary.
  • Then add pepper powder and stir well.
  • Now add the stock water you've got from cooking mutton and stir well. Let it boil until the water content reduces and curry becomes thick
  • Remove from flame and serve.




TIP: If you are going to use beef, then pressure cook the meat for 30 to 40 minutes and then use it.

  14. Hi Divya !!!!


    The recipe looks delicious minus the heavy labour of accumulating ginger, garlic and tomatoes. Will try out sometime. I do hv a query though. In case i don't get shallots, will the normal onions do?

    Warm regards
