Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Soak the chana dal in water for at least 3-4 hours.

Sautéing Aromatics

  • Heat oil in a pressure cooker. Add sliced onions and sauté until light pink. Add ginger-garlic paste and curry leaves; sauté for another minute.

Cooking the Mutton and Dal

  • Add the mutton, salt, red chili powder, and turmeric powder to the cooker. Stir well to coat the mutton with the spices. Add the soaked chana dal.

Pressure Cooking

  • Sauté for 4-5 minutes, then close the lid and pressure cook until the mutton is tender. Allow the pressure to release naturally.

Adding Red Sorrel

  • Once the pressure is released, carefully open the lid and add the red sorrel leaves. Mix well.

Simmering

  • Cook on high heat for a minute or two, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until the sorrel leaves are completely cooked. No need to add water; the leaves will release moisture.

Finishing Touches

  • Adjust salt to taste. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve hot with plain boiled rice and a dollop of ghee (clarified butter).

Expert Tips for the Best Hyderabadi Ambade Ki Katli

  • Soaking the chana dal ensures it cooks evenly and becomes soft and fluffy.
  • Don't add any water while cooking the red sorrel leaves; their natural moisture is sufficient.
  • Adjust the amount of red chili powder according to your spice preference.
