Ingredients
Mutton & Marinades
- 300 gm Mutton cut into 2-inch cubes
- 1 tbsp Ginger Paste
- 1 tbsp Garlic Paste
- 1 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1 tsp Salt or to taste
Spices & Aromatics
- 1 Cinnamon Stick
- 1 Cardamom Pods green, lightly crushed
- 1 tsp Chili Powder adjust to your spice preference, red
- 1 tsp Garam Masala
Vegetables & Oil
- 1 Large Onion finely ground or pureed
- 3 Tomatoes medium-sized, pureed
- 3 tbsp Vegetable Oil
Garnish
- handful Coriander chopped, fresh
Instructions
Preparing the Tomato Base
- Heat 1 1/2 tbsp oil in a pan. Add the cinnamon stick and cardamom pods; sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the pureed tomatoes and cook until the oil separates and the tomatoes are softened. Set aside to cool slightly.
Grinding the Tomato Mixture
- Transfer the cooked tomato mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Set aside.
Sautéing Aromatics
- Heat the remaining oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven. Add the ground onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add the ginger and garlic paste and sauté until the raw smell disappears.
Combining and Cooking the Laal Maas
- Add the red chili powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, and salt. Stir well. Pour in the pureed tomato mixture and mix thoroughly. Add the mutton and 1 cup of water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until the mutton is very tender (about 1-1.5 hours, or until easily pierced with a fork).
Finishing Touches
- Stir in the chopped coriander. Check for seasoning and adjust salt as needed. If the gravy is too thin, simmer uncovered for a few more minutes to thicken it.
Serving
- Serve the Laal Maas hot, garnished with fresh coriander leaves. Enjoy with basmati rice, naan, or roti.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Laal Maas
- For a deeper, richer flavor, marinate the mutton in the ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, salt, and a little red chili powder for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of red chili powder to your preferred level of spiciness.
- For an even richer and more complex flavor, consider adding a few bay leaves and a pinch of black peppercorns to the spice blend.
