Sear and Cook the Mutton (Bhunao)
Cook Until Tender
Finish and Serve
Add 2 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and cubed, along with the mutton to make a heartier curry.
For a richer, milder gravy, stir in 2-3 tablespoons of cashew paste along with the tomato puree, or add 1/4 cup of full-fat cream at the end of cooking.
Add 1/2 cup of thick coconut milk at the end of the cooking process (do not boil after adding) and a tempering of mustard seeds and curry leaves for a different flavor profile.
Increase the amount of green chilies and red chili powder. You can also add a pinch of black pepper powder along with the other spices.
Mutton is an excellent source of complete protein, which is vital for building and repairing tissues, muscle growth, and overall body function.
This dish provides a significant amount of heme iron, which is more easily absorbed by the body than non-heme iron from plant sources. Iron is crucial for preventing anemia and maintaining energy levels.
Mutton is rich in B-vitamins, especially Vitamin B12 and Niacin (B3). These vitamins are essential for nerve function, energy metabolism, and maintaining healthy skin.
The recipe uses spices like turmeric, ginger, and garlic, which are known for their powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, helping to combat oxidative stress in the body.
One serving of this Mutton Masala contains approximately 450-550 calories, depending on the fat content of the mutton and the amount of oil used. This is an estimate and can vary.
Mutton Masala can be part of a balanced diet. It's an excellent source of protein and iron. However, it is also high in saturated fat and calories. To make it healthier, use leaner cuts of mutton, trim excess fat, and use oil moderately.
Yes, you can use lamb. Lamb is more tender than mutton, so you will need to reduce the cooking time. For a pressure cooker, cook for about 10-12 minutes on low after the first whistle. For a pot, it might take around 50-60 minutes.
The easiest way is to simmer the curry uncovered on low heat until it reaches your desired consistency. You can also mash a few cooked mutton pieces or add a tablespoon of cashew paste mixed with water and simmer for a few minutes.
You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. The flavor often improves the next day. It also freezes well for up to 3 months.
Mutton Masala pairs wonderfully with Indian breads like Naan, Roti, or Paratha. It's also excellent with steamed Basmati rice, Jeera Rice, or a simple Pulao. A side of kachumber salad or raita complements the rich curry.
