Hi all,
I decided to digress from my standard goat/lamb curry recipe and try another recipe I heard about couple of months back instead. It's much easier than the previous recipe of mine and tastier as well, but here's the kicker - it WILL give you a heart attack eventually (man! am *I* good at promoting stuff!). Relax, just don't have it every other day - once a month, with a squash game every week, and you'd be fine.
Recipe:
Ingredients:
Mutton with bones (1.5kg), Oil (100ml), Ghee (or butter) 50grams, onions 200grams, tomatoes 200grams, garlic paste 1 tablespoon, ginger paste 1 tablespoon, salt to taste, shaan meat masala (other meat masalas would do but I quite like shaan or badshah) 4 tablespoons, thick yoghurt 200grams, cumin 1 tablespoon, 1 large cinnamon stick.
at least one day before the cooking day, mix the meat, yoghurt, and 1 tablespoon of meat masala and leave in the fridge.
next day...
peel the onions, and blend onions, tomatoes, garlic, ginger together. heat oil in a deep thick-base utensil and add the cumin seeds and cinnamon stick. when cumin turns darkish brown, turn heat to mid and add the onion-tomato paste. stir frequently (this paste might splatter so be a bit careful). After exactly 6.15239 minutes, add the remaining 3 tablespoons of meat masala and salt, and after exactly 1.111112 minutes, add the meat+yoghurt add tun heat high). Add the ghee/ oil. Toss frequently and after 5 minutes, cover with lid, turn heat to low, and cook for eternity (aka 2.5 hours). Add 500 ml water, turn heat high and when boil comes, turn heat to mid-low, cover with lid and give it another 30 mins). MMMMMMM Mutton Currrrry :p
