Mutton Kadai

Ingredients

• 600g mutton (bone-in, cut into pieces)
• 3 tbsp oil
• 2 large onions, thinly sliced
• 2 tomatoes, pureed
• 2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
• 2 tsp coriander powder
• 1.5 tsp red chilli powder
• 1 tsp turmeric
• 1 tbsp kadai masala (coarsely crushed coriander + fennel + dried red chillies)
• Salt to taste
• 2-3 green bell peppers, chopped and charred
• Fresh coriander for garnish

Method

1. Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan. Fry onions until deep golden and set aside.
2. In the same pan, add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for a minute.
3. Add mutton pieces, sear on high heat until browned on all sides.
4. Add tomato puree, coriander powder, chilli powder, turmeric and salt. Mix well.
5. Cover and cook on low heat for 40-50 minutes until the mutton is tender (or pressure cook for faster results).
6. In the last 10 minutes, add kadai masala and chopped bell peppers. Stir and cook uncovered to reduce gravy.
7. Garnish with fried onions and coriander. Serve with naan or steamed rice.
