Recipe #13: Mutton Masala

Found the recipe for this dish this in the masala packet from my sister's mother-in law. My husband has already tried this recipe 4 times now and ironed out the finer details. I hope he will be making it again (and soon!).

1 large onion (cut length-wise) 

1 large tomato (cut into small cubes)

50 g/3 spoons mutton masala (or replace with 1tsp chilli powder, 1tsp garam masala, a pinch of turmeric and 1/2 tsp cumin powder) 

8-10 curry leaves

2 tsp chopped coriander leaves

1/2 tsp cumin seeds

METHOD

• Sautee the meat with tomato and onion in oil. 

• Pressure cook the mixture with 1/2 cup water, coconut milk, 50 g mutton masala and salt for 3 whistles.
