Its more than 2 months, this post was in draft format. Unfortunately I completely forgot to finish this post. Today I received a request from a subscriber of our’s for a mutton curry, and then only I remembered about it.

Kerala style mutton curry preparation

  1. Wash the mutton pieces well and cut it into small pieces. Wash again under running water.
  2. Drain the pieces well.
  3. Marinate the mutton pieces with chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, meat masala, salt and keep it aside for 30 minutes.
  4. Heat a pan / cheenachatti and add oil.
  5. Add onions (large & small) and saute it till it becomes golden brown.
  6. When onions turn golden brown, add ginger, green chillies, garlic and saute it well.
  7. Add tomato pieces and curry leaves and stir well to get it mixed well.
  8. Lower the flame and saute it.
  9. Add the marinated mutton pieces to pan (Add 1/2 a cup of water only if you need to be as a curry).
  10. Mix well and keep it in low flame for 5-8 minutes stirring it in between.
  11. Transfer it to a pressure cooker and cook up to 3 whistles.
  12. You can apply some seasoning with curry leaves and oil if you wish.
  13. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve hot with Appam / Pathiri / Idiyappam etc.

    Doc
    We tried the recipe and came good.but can u please edit on the first step about onion.
    U asked 25 small onions and 2 big onions.bu-t didn’t mentioned whether to chop the small onions and didn’t say whether to sauté both of them together.being an amateur it put lot of confusion in mind.
    But great and simple recipe and ate with Porotta..thanks

    Meat Masala is a generic term. It will be helpful if the specific ingredients that make up the Meat Masala are indicated.

    Shallots are there in the ingredients and not in the preparation. When to add it?

    • says:

      Hi Jithesh, both shallots and big onions are added together.

      Sorry for the confusion caused. Its ginger and garlic together making about 1/2 cup. Updated the post to avoid confusion. 😉
