How to prepare.
Railway Mutton Curry Recipe
Ingredients:
- >> 500g mutton (goat or lamb), cut into pieces
- >> 2 large onions, finely chopped
- >> 2 tomatoes, finely chopped
- >> 2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- >> 2-3 potatoes, cut into quarters (optional)
- >> 2-3 green chilies, slit
- >> 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
- >> 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- >> 1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to your spice preference)
- >> 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- >> 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- >> 1 teaspoon garam masala
- >> 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional, for deeper flavor)
- >> 1 cup water
- >> Salt to taste
- >> Fresh coriander leaves for garnish
Instructions:
1. Heat vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pan or pressure cooker over medium heat.
2. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
3. Add the ginger-garlic paste and cook for another couple of minutes until the raw smell disappears.
4. Add the mutton pieces to the pan. Increase the heat to medium-high and brown the meat on all sides. This will help seal in the juices and enhance the taste.
5. Lower the heat to medium and add the chopped tomatoes and green chilies. Cook until the tomatoes become soft and the oil starts to separate from the masala.
6. Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and salt. Stir well to coat the meat with the spices.
7. If you are using potatoes, add them to the pan and mix them with the masala and meat.
8. Pour in water and bring the curry to a simmer. Cover the pan with a lid and let the mutton cook on medium-low heat until it becomes tender. If using a pressure cooker, cook the mutton for about 4-5 whistles or until tender.
9. Once the mutton is cooked, add garam masala and mix it in.
10. If you prefer a deeper flavor, you can add tomato paste at this stage and mix well.
11. Let the curry simmer for a few more minutes to thicken the gravy.
12. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
Your delightful Railway Mutton Curry is now ready to be served! This flavorful dish can be enjoyed with steamed rice, naan, or any Indian bread of your choice. The simplicity and deliciousness of this curry make it a favorite for many Indian food enthusiasts.
