Preparation:
1. Marinate mutton with lemon juice, curd, salt and turmeric for 1-4hrs or overnight.
2 Heat a tawa or non stick pan & dry roast the powder ingredients, till nice aroma come. If you can use roasted whole spices ( 10-12 Kashmiri chili and 5-8 spicy or medium spicy red chili, 1 tsp peppercorns, fenugreek, coriander & cumin seeds it would be awesome, it just for easiness I used powders) . Take care to see not to burn the spice powder as the masala will be bitter taste. Grind the power, garlic and tamarind juice using little water. Put this in a blow and retain the water after washing the blender.
- Take a thick bottom pan heat 1/4 cup of ghee the marinated mutton and cook over a high flame till the pieces are almost cooked. (if pressure cook till 1 while only) After the mutton is almost cooked segregate the pieces and juice into two different bowls.
- Clean the pan and add the remaining ghee and fry the ground masala till the raw smell leaves and the oil leaves the sides of the pan.
- Now add the cooked mutton pieces 1/2 cup of the reserved liquid & salt to taste. Check the salt before adding as we have already added salt while cooking. Cook on a medium high flame till the masala coats the muttonn very nicely and a yummy aroma of ghee come. Add the sugar & mix. Garnish with curry leaves & chopped coriander leaves & turn off the flame
- Yummy …….Yummy dish is ready …………….It can be served hot as an appetizer or with hot fluffy Kerala parata or Nan or ghee rice.
