Let’s Start Recipe
Today, we will make a very delicious and flavorful Restaurant-style Mutton Masala. You can enjoy this dish with naan, parathas, or rice. It’s an easy recipe that you can make for a gathering or for your family at home. Do try it out. Let’s get started with making Mutton Masala.
Step 1: Prepare the Oil and Fry the Onions
In a karahi (wok), add 1/2 cup of oil and heat it well. Once the oil is hot, add 1 large onion, finely chopped. If using smaller onions, you can use 2. Fry the onions on medium-high flame until they turn light pink and soft.
Step 2: Add the Mutton
Once the onions are soft, add 700 grams of mutton to the pan. Also, add 2 tablespoons of ginger-garlic paste and sauté the mutton with the onion and ginger-garlic paste on high flame for 3-4 minutes. This will ensure the ginger-garlic cooks well and loses its raw flavor.
Step 3: Add Salt and Fry the Mutton
Now, add 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt (or to taste) to the mutton and continue frying for another 3-4 minutes. This will help in removing any extra water from the mutton, and the color of the mutton will change.
Step 4: Add Water to Cook the Mutton
Once the mutton is browned, add 2 cups of water to the pan. Mix it well, and once it starts to boil on high flame, cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for 40-50 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Step 5: Add Tomatoes
After around 45 minutes, the mutton should be almost cooked (about 95%). Now, add 4 medium-sized tomatoes, cut into two pieces and deseeded. Arrange the tomatoes on top of the mutton with the skin facing up. Cover the pan and cook on low flame for 5-7 minutes.
Step 6: Remove the Tomato Skin
After 5-7 minutes, open the lid. The tomato skins will be soft. Using tongs, peel off the tomato skins and mash the tomatoes using a spoon. The tomatoes will blend well with the gravy and give it a rich texture.
Step 7: Add Red Chilli, Turmeric, and Kashmiri Chilli Powder
Now, add 1 teaspoon of red chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder, and 1 teaspoon of Kashmiri red chili powder for color. Mix well and cook on high flame until the spices blend well with the mutton and the gravy thickens.
Step 8: Add Ground Spices
Now, add 1 tablespoon of roasted ground coriander, 1 teaspoon of roasted ground cumin, and 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper. Mix these spices well and continue cooking on medium flame. This will allow the spices to infuse into the mutton.
Step 9: Add Yogurt
Once the spices are well combined, add 1/4 cup of yogurt, well-beaten. Lower the flame and mix the yogurt in thoroughly. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the yogurt blends well with the spices and the oil separates from the mixture.
Step 10: Add Final Garnishes
Lastly, add 1/2 teaspoon of garam masala powder, a few slices of ginger, some finely chopped cilantro, and 2-3 green chilies. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Step 11: Serve
Your Mutton Karahi Masala is now ready! It’s a spicy and flavorful dish with tender and juicy mutton pieces. You can serve this with naan, roti, or rice.
