Mutton Masala

Combine the love experimenting with food, the sense of taste with a last minute person and you'll never know what feast's in store for dinner!

I had actually gone to the market to pick up pork meat to prepare Ham, when i saw lovely mutton bones, as fresh as they come. The immediate abandonment of the ham recipe in my head gave way to the spicy mutton masala i hadn't had in years!

1/2 kg meaty bone mutton
3 dried red chillies
6 cloves garlic
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp cumin seeds
10 pepper corns
4 cloves
2 sticks cinnamon
3 cardamoms
1 tbs turmeric powder
salt to taste
2 onions chopped
oil
tamarind water


Wash and clean the mutton. Apply salt and keep aside.
Grind all the remaining ingredients with tamarind water to make the masala paste.
Marinate the mutton with the masala paste for at least 2 hours.
Fry the chopped onion till tender. Add the mutton pieces and semi fry for 3 mins.
Add the remaining masala from the container, a little water, and let the mutton cook till done.
Reduce the gravy till it coats the mutton bones evenly.
