Cook Time
Ingredients
- 500g mutton/lamb, chopped
- 100ml olive/vegetable oil
- 2 bay leaves
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- 1 teaspoon cumin/jeera seeds
- 1 large onion chopped
- 1 sprig of curry leave
- 2 teaspoons garlic & ginger paste
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoon tumeric
- 2 tablespoons masala
- 4 to 6 soft cooking potatoes, cut into 4 each
- 5 sprigs of fresh coriander chopped
- 1 grated tomato
- 1 sprigs of fresh mint, for garnish
- 300ml plain unflavoured yoghurt
Instructions
- Before you begin, during your preparation time, marinate your meat in plain yoghurt, this assists the meat to tenderise
- It would be best to use a large thick base pot to ensure adequate room for the curry and all it's ingredients that go along with it
- Lets begin the braising, heat oil on a moderate heat then add your chopped onion, turmeric & spices (grind all your spices together for much more intense flavour) fry for a minute this allows the onions to become a beautiful golden brown
- Add your salt masala, ginger & garlic and hear the wonderful sizzle giving you the go ahead for the remaining ingredients
- Add your Meat, then your tomato bring to a stir as this is allowing everything to come together evenly, taking in the aromatic flavours coming through
- Turn down heat and cover pot with lid
- Cook until water is dissolved and meat begins to thicken in its juices
- Add your curry leaves
- Only add a little water to give more gravy according to your preference and then add the soft cooking potatoes when the meat is a bit soft and tender
- Bring to a slow cook, as we are allowing all spices to soak in nicely
- Cook until meat is falling off the bone & potatoes are just about melting, and gravy has thickened you will then switch off the stove
- Simmer until ready to serve
- Garnish with dhania (coriander) or mint
