Mutton Curry Recipe 
Here’s a recipe for a flavorful Mutton Curry:
### Ingredients:
– 500g mutton (bone-in pieces)
– 2 large onions, finely chopped
– 2 tomatoes, pureed
– 1 cup plain yogurt
– 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
– 2-3 green chilies, slit
– 1/2 cup cooking oil or ghee
– 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
– 2-3 bay leaves
– 4-5 cloves
– 2-3 cardamom pods
– 1-inch cinnamon stick
– 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
– 1 tablespoon red chili powder
– 2 teaspoons coriander powder
– 1 teaspoon cumin powder
– 1 teaspoon garam masala
– Salt to taste
– Fresh coriander leaves, chopped (for garnish)
– Water as needed
### Instructions:
1. **Marinate the Mutton:**
– In a bowl, combine the mutton pieces with yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 1 hour (preferably overnight in the refrigerator).
2. **Prepare the Curry:**
– Heat oil or ghee in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or pressure cooker over medium heat.
– Add cumin seeds, bay leaves, cloves, cardamom pods, and the cinnamon stick. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
– Add the finely chopped onions and cook until golden brown.
– Add the green chilies and the marinated mutton to the pot. Cook until the mutton starts to brown.
– Add the tomato puree and cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. **Add the Spices:**
– Mix in the red chili powder, coriander powder, and cumin powder. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
– Add enough water to cover the mutton (about 2-3 cups). Stir well.
4. **Cook the Mutton:**
– If using a pressure cooker, cover and cook for about 20-25 minutes on medium heat (or for 4-5 whistles). If using a regular pot, cover and simmer for 1-1.5 hours or until the mutton is tender, stirring occasionally and adding more water if needed.
5. **Finish the Curry:**
– Once the mutton is cooked, check for seasoning and adjust salt if needed.
– Stir in the garam masala and cook for another 5 minutes.
– Garnish with chopped fresh coriander leaves.
6. **Serve:**
– Serve hot with rice, naan, or roti.
Enjoy your delicious Mutton Curry!
