Vegetables and Oil
- 4 Onion finely chopped, medium-sized
- 2 Tomato finely chopped, medium-sized
- 4 tbsp Vegetable Oil or any cooking oil of your choice
Finishing Touches
- 3 tbsp Heavy Cream for richness, optional
Instructions
Marinate the Mutton
- Combine mutton, yogurt, ginger paste, garlic paste, salt, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and cumin powder in a bowl. Mix well and set aside for at least 30 minutes, or preferably longer for deeper flavor.
Sauté the Aromatics
- Heat oil in a pressure cooker. Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
Grind the Spices
- Grind the cardamom pods, nutmeg, and mace into a fine powder.
Brown the Mutton
- Add the marinated mutton to the onions and brown it well on all sides.
Simmer in the Pressure Cooker
- Add 1 cup of hot water and the chopped tomatoes to the pressure cooker. Stir well. Secure the lid and cook for 2-3 whistles, allowing the pressure to release naturally.
Finish the Curry
- Open the cooker and place it back on the stovetop over medium heat. Add the ground spice mixture and fresh coriander. Simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve
- Stir in the heavy cream (optional). Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot with roti, naan, or rice.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Pakistani Mutton Curry
- Bone-in vs. Boneless: For deeper, richer flavor, use bone-in mutton. If using boneless, reduce the cooking time slightly.
- Spice Level: Adjust the amount of red chili powder to suit your preferred level of spiciness. Start with less and add more gradually.
- Marination Time: Marinating the mutton for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight, is crucial for developing the best flavor. The longer it marinates, the more tender it becomes.
- Fresh Spices: If possible, use freshly ground spices for a more vibrant and aromatic curry. The difference is remarkable!
