Preparation
- Wash and clean the mutton pieces well.
- Heat oil in a deep pan or kadai.Once the oil is hot, add chopped garlic, ginger & green chillies.Saute for 2-3 minutes until the raw smell of the masala is gone.
- Add sliced onions and saute it for 3-4 minutes till the onion becomes soft & translucent.
- Now add in chopped tomatoes, saute for 2 minutes.
- Once the tomatoes become mushy, add in chopped curry leaves, coriander leaves & mint leaves.
- Next add in the spices- coriander powder, pepper powder,turmeric powder, garam masala, salt and mix the ingredients well.
- Once the oil starts to separate from the sides, add in the mutton pieces and toss gently until the pieces are well coated with the masalas.
- You can make this in pressure cook with 6-8 whistles.I have simmered and cooked in deep pan so that all flavours gets incorporated into mutton.
- Cover with a lid and cook the mutton on low flame for about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Stir in between and adjust the salt if its low.
- After 20 minutes, again open the lid and give a stir.
- For me it took 50 minutes on low flame to cook the mutton well.It depends on the tenderness of mutton.
- Garnish with chopped coriander leaves. Cover the mutton pepper roast and allow to rest for sometime.
- Serve along with ghee rice or even malabar parotta for a delicious weekday lunch.
