MALAI MUTTON

The most essential part of a well-balanced diet is food. And If you have ample time to spend in the kitchen, you can do many experiments. Here is my experiment with Mutton this weekend. The best combo to serve with Malai Mutton is paratha or roti, though we had with Egg fried rice. The outcome of this curry recipe is a silky smooth tender dish which is super yummy. 

Ingredients:

1. Mutton - 300 gram

2. Lemon juice - 2 tsp

3. Curd - 1/2 cup

4. Malai / cream - 3 tsp

5. Elaichi (green) powder - 1 tsp

6. Ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp

7. Garam masala - 1 tsp

8. Coriander leaves (fresh) - for garnishing

9. Salt to taste

10. Onion - 2 (paste)

11. Cumin seeds - 1 tsp

12. Oil - 2 tsp

Process:

1. Marinate mutton pieces with lemon juice and salt and keep aside for 2 hours. After that add curd, ginger garlic paste, elaichi powder and and again keep aside for 4-5 hours. (If you are planning for lunch menu, you can leave the marination overnight also).

2. Heat oil in a heavy bottomed pan and add jeera. When splutters, add the marinated mutton, cover and simmer until tender.

3. Meanwhile in a separate pan, add 1/2 tsp oil, and add onion paste, ginger garlic paste and garam masala, and saute for 5 to 7 minutes, and add this masala paste to the mutton pa. Mix well and let it cook til the mutton is tender.

4. Once done, add fresh cream to the gravy and garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
