Spicy Mutton Curry Recipe
Spicy mutton curry
It was one of those days when Dad wanted to eat a simple mutton curry and so did Sidhant. However, between Dad and Mom, neither wanted to do it. So, 500 grams of mutton was promptly deposited on my table and with a demand for spicy mutton curry.
I wanted to do something snappy, spicy and fragrant which went well with rice which is usually present on our lunch table. Today, I worked with powdered spices, steered clear of whole spices and added a twist at the end.
The resultant was major appreciation during lunch, where Dad actually said that the spicy mutton curry was better than the way he makes it.

- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a pressure cooker.
- When hot add onions and saute till they become soft and translucent. No need to brown completely. Takes about 3 minutes or so.
- Add tomato puree and fry for about 5 minutes. Remove from fire and blend into a paste.
- Add 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in and add the paste. Fry for another 2 minutes.

- Keep aside to let the pressure release by itself.
- Once the pressure releases, open the pressure cooker and add garam masala and ghee. Correct the salt if needed.
- Close the pressure lid again and give it one more whistle.
- All done. Your spicy mutton curry is ready. Serve with rice and a smile on your face. Enjoy!
Notes
- Almost any cut of lamb can be used for lamb stews and curries, but the shoulder is best.
- Ensure, mutton pieces are cut into the same size, this helps in cooking the cuts throughout evenly.
- Modify the number of spices as per your preferences. Some people like it heavy on spices and chillies and some don't.
- Always, sear the meat pieces on high flames for 2-3 minutes. This seals the juices inside the meat.
- Once the masala is ready, add water as per the consistency of gravy you love to eat.
