Nepalese Mutton Curry Recipe

Step 1: To begin making the Nepalese Mutton Curry recipe, in a pressure cooker, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and add cloves, green cardamom, cinnamon, bay leaves and then fenugreek seeds

Step 2: Fry them for around 15-20 seconds in medium heat until aroma starts to develop

Step 3: Add finely chopped red onion and fry until it becomes soft and starts changing color

Step 4: Add ginger and garlic paste and turmeric powder and fry further for around a minute

Step 5: Add chopped mutton and cook it for around 5-6 minutes with occasional stirring

Step 6: By now the meat starts to become brown

Step 7: Add the required salt, meat masala and red chili powder

Step 8: Cook it for around 2 minutes with occasional stirring and add diced tomato

Step 9: Cook it further for around 4-5 minutes until the diced tomato becomes soft and dissolved in the curry, and oil starts to separate from the masala

Step 10: Add garam masala, stir it and add a cup of water

Step 11: Put the lid of the pressure cooker and cook it for around 15 minutes (around 4 whistle) in low heat (if you are not using the pressure, cook the curry for around 25-30 minutes in low heat with lid on)

Step 12: Turn off the heat and let the cooker cools down until the steam in the pressure cooker releases completely

Step 13: It will take around 5-10 minutes depending upon the surrounding temperature

Step 14: Take the lid off, add a tbs of butter or ghee and give it a stir

Step 15: If you want to make more gravy or soup, add more water and bring it to boil in low heat

Step 16: Garnish with fresh coriander before serving

Step 17: Serve Nepalese Mutton Curry with Steamed Rice or Jeera Rice for a weekend night dinner
