Mutton Pepper Fry

Mutton Pepper Fry is a spicy and flavorful dish made with tender mutton (goat or lamb) cooked with a blend of aromatic spices and cracked black pepper.

Ingredients:

• 500 grams mutton (goat or lamb), cut into pieces
• 2 onions, finely chopped
• 2 tomatoes, finely chopped
• 2 teaspoons ginger-garlic paste
• 2 teaspoons black peppercorns, coarsely crushed
• 1 teaspoon fennel seeds (saunf)
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust according to spice preference)
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 2 tablespoons oil
• Salt to taste
• Fresh coriander leaves for garnish

Instructions:

1. Heat oil in a large skillet or pressure cooker over medium heat.
2. Add fennel seeds and cumin seeds to the hot oil and sauté for a few seconds until they start to splutter.
3. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
4. Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for a minute until the raw aroma disappears.
5. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and release their juices.
6. Now, add the mutton pieces to the skillet and mix well with the onion-tomato mixture. Cook for a few minutes until the mutton is slightly browned.
7. Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, crushed black peppercorns, and salt. Mix well to coat the mutton with the spices.
8. If using a pressure cooker, cover it with the lid and cook the mutton for about 4-5 whistles or until the meat is tender. If using a skillet, cover it with a lid and simmer the mutton for about 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the meat becomes tender.
9. Once the mutton is cooked and tender, increase the heat to medium-high and cook uncovered for a few minutes to allow the excess moisture to evaporate and the flavors to intensify.
10. Sprinkle garam masala over the mutton and give it a final stir.
11. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
12. Serve the Mutton Pepper Fry hot as a side dish with roti, naan, or steamed rice.
