Step-by-Step Instructions
- 1.Prepare the Mutton
Wash the mutton thoroughly 3-4 times. In a bowl, add the washed mutton, a pinch of turmeric powder, some chili powder, and some salt. Mix everything well to marinate the mutton. Set aside for 10-20 minutes.
- 2.Prepare the Masala Paste
Take roughly chopped onions, peeled garlic cloves, chopped ginger, and coconut pieces. Blend them into a smooth paste in a mixer grinder. Set aside.
- 3.Sauté Aromatics and Masala Paste
Heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil in a pressure cooker. Add mustard seeds, urad dal, cumin seeds, cloves, cardamom, and cinnamon stick. Once they splutter, add 2 slit green chilies, finely chopped onions, and curry leaves. Sauté until onions turn translucent. Then add the finely chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften. Now, add the prepared masala paste and mix well. Cook for 2 minutes until the raw smell of the masala paste disappears.
- 4.Add Mutton and Spices
Add the marinated mutton to the cooker. Mix well with the sautéed masala. Cover the cooker with a lid (without the whistle) and let it cook for 10 minutes until the mutton releases its own water. After 10 minutes, open the lid and add chili powder, coriander powder, mutton masala powder, garam masala powder, and some chopped coriander leaves. Mix thoroughly.
- 5.Add Drumsticks and Pressure Cook
Pour in about 1 glass (200-250 ml) of water. Add the cut drumstick pieces. Mix gently. Close the pressure cooker with the lid and put on the whistle. Cook for 3-4 whistles on medium heat. After the whistles, turn off the heat and let the pressure release naturally for about 10 minutes. Open the cooker.
- 6.Serve the Curry
The Mutton Drumstick Curry is now ready. The mutton and drumsticks should be perfectly cooked and tender. Serve hot with rice or roti.
