Mutton Curry – Marathi Recipe

Instructions

For Marination:

• Take the meat and wash it really well under running water for 4-5 times.
• Transfer it into a pressure cooker to marinate. You can marinate it in a separate bowl if you want.
• Add turmeric powder, ginger-garlic paste, salt, coriander, and lemon juice. Mix well.
• Cover and marinate for at least an hour.
• After an hour add water and mix well.
• Close the lid and cook on medium heat until 7-8 whistles.
• Try to cook on medium heat only as it takes a longer time for mutton to cook.

For Curry Masala:

• Heat up a pan on medium heat and add coconut to it. Roast until coconut turns golden. Transfer the coconut into a blender jar.
• In the same pan heat up the oil. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle up.

• Turn off the gas and transfer this masala into a blender jar having coconut.
• Blend masala into fine paste by adding minimum water.
• If you can make a fine paste without adding any water that will be best.
