Kadhai Mutton

The other day I got this HUGE chunk of Kosher lamb from Costco. And the meat is great with no bones and less fat but it does seem ridiculously expensive only because it is a big chunk of meat and to spend that much for something at one single time just seems way too much.
                 But anyway, I got it and made four portions out of it and today I wanted to make one of those portions . The dish I made is very amazing. I followed the recipe exactly and it was yummy and spicy. I served it with Jeera or Cumin rice just because I did not have the strength to make Roti or better yet Naan or flat bread 


Kadhai Mutton (Lamb cooked in a spicy gravy)

Kadhai Mutton*

Ingredients:

1. 1 lb lamb or goat preferably with bones cut into small pieces
2. 1 medium red onion 
3. 2 medium tomatoes chopped fine
4. 2 green chillies sliced 
5. 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
6. 1/2 teaspoon cumin
7. 1/2 teaspoon each of salt, red chilly powder, turmeric, coriander powder
8. 1/2 cup plain yogurt beaten
9. 2 tablespoons oil
10. 1 inch cinnamon stick, 2-4 cloves

This recipe is to be make in a WOK which is what a KADHAI means in Hindi. But just to make it a little more quickly I cooked it in a pressure cooker. So its up to you.

Marinate the mutton pieces with ginger-garlic paste, salt, chilly powder, coriander powder and turmeric for atleast 1 hr

Make a paste out of the onions and cumin

In a cooker or kadhai heat the oil and fry the green onions till they change color. Drain and set aside. Add the mutton and fry in the oil for 7-8 minutes. Drain and set aside. Add the onion paste and fry till it starts changing color. Add the tomatoes and stir to combine. Fry for a couple of minutes. Add cinnamon and cloves and everything back to the cooker or kadhai except yogurt. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes or 2-3 whistles. Let the steam escape and add the beaten yogurt and stir well. Simmer till the gravy thickens to your liking. garnish with cilantro and serve with roti or Zeera Rice
