Mutton curry

I love mutton compared to chicken n fish.I was tempted by the many fellow bloggers who made mutton dishes recently..i did this today..it came out very well.Sorry i didn't take good pictures :(

Ingredients:

Mutton-1/2 kg or 500ms
Ginger& Garlic Paste -3 tbsp
cumin seeds/jeera-1 tsp
green chilli-2 slit
Turmeric Powder- 1/2tsp
garam masala powder-11/2 tsp
red chilli powder-1/2 to 1 tap varies with your spice level
Curry leaves

salt to taste
curd-3 tsp
Oil -4 bsp

Optional ingredients:

Cinnamon stick -4 small ones
Cloves -3
Bay leaves -2
cilantro and mint leaves

Make paste: use below ingredients and make paste using mixer/food processor.

onions-11/2 big
tomotoes-2 medium

Preparation:

1.Marinate mutton with turmeric powder ,salt ,red chilli powder,ginger-garlic paste and curd and keep it aside for abt 15 min.Heat oil in a pressure cooker add cumin seeds and curyy leaves and green chilli.Add onions paste ,fry till onion paste becomes light brown .

2.Add tomatoe puree and fry the mixture till the raw smell of tomotoes goes off.

3.Add the marianted mutton pieces and mix it all well. Fry the mutton with the masala in medium flame till the oil seperates from the muton .Add garam masala and fry for couple of min.

4.Now add one cup of water into it. Stir it well so that all of the ingredients mix together and close the lid of the pressure cooker.

5.Pressure cook it until the 4 or 5 whistle goes off. After that remove from heat and keep it aside.

6.If you feel the gravy looking liquidish,again cook in the same pressure cooker or transfer it into a seperate pan and boil for few more min or till all water evoparated from the curry.

7.Garnish it with coriander leaves.This is good to eat with rice or chapathi n parathas n pooris too :)
