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!
