Traditional Kerala Spicy Mutton Curry
A deeply satisfying traditional kerala spicy mutton curry simmered slowly with freshly ground spices and coconut. The kind of gravy that thickens as it rests and rewards patience with layered, rounded flavour.
Ingredientsfor 5 servings
- 1 kg Mutton — cut into small pieces, goat leg
- Salt, to taste
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper powder
- 2 tsp Coriander powder
- 3 tsp Chilly powder
- 1/2 cup Coconut milk
- Coriander leaves, a few
Preparation
Step 1
Marinate mutton with the ingredients for marination and keep it for 15 - 30 minutes.
Step 2
Pour oil into a pan and heat it and allow to crackle mustard. Fry onion, green chillies, ginger, garlic and curry leaves. Stir in powdered masala ingredients and give it a good stir till oil starts separating from it.
Step 3
Cook marinated mutton in a cooker until 2-3 whistles or until done. Set aside.
Step 4
After the mutton is well cooked, transfer whole mutton along with the gravy into the frying pan and mix it with the paste and add coconut milk and cook till the gravy thickens.
Step 5
Decorate with coriander leaves and serve hot. Good with rice or chappathy, Appam, Parotta etc.
Tip
Whole spices — cardamom, cloves, cinnamon — go in early with the oil. They need time to infuse their flavour into the fat.
