Marag Recipe or Hyderabadi Marag is a soup recipe made with tender mutton attached to bones which have been getting quite popular in Hyderabad over the years.

It is placed on wedding platters in Hyderabad along with haleem, and this recipe is the most sought-after in weddings or a Hyderabadi shaadi.

It is a spicy and rich mutton stew or soup that perfectly goes well with naan or roti.

Other similar recipes are keema recipe, mutton fry, mutton rogan josh, bone soup, achari gosht, dal gosht, etc.

I have tried my level best to present my blog readers with the marag recipe, which is almost resembling the one which is served in shaadis.

Do check indian chicken recipes from the blog, such as kadai chicken gravy, chicken tikka, etc...

 This marag recipe is juicy, spicy, rich, and perfect for winter evenings, or it can also be taken during breakfasts with roti or naan.

It is an Arabic dish that is getting quite popular in Hyderabad.

Marag can also be taken plain as a soup, and this is one of the best mutton soup recipes I ever made and tried.

I tried hard to get this wonderful recipe which almost resembles the wedding one and made it finally, and it turned out amazing.

  I love to replicate the recipes that almost bring out the restaurant taste or the ones served at weddings.

I like to present them to my readers by making them at home and giving a homemade taste and yet a feeling of eating the restaurant kind of food.

                          I have also made biryani recipes that almost give out the restaurant taste, and I would be glad enough if my readers try them out and share their feedback.

                            I want to write a detailed recipe for my blog readers to understand it perfectly.

This Hyderabadi marag recipe has been tried, tested, and finally written on my blog. I prefer to bring out genuine and tried recipes.

                    Every recipe on my blog has been made with lots of effort, and I appreciate your comments for us to improve.

Marag recipe appears to be challenging, but this is relatively easy and can be achieved with a few simple steps.

Storage

Storing marag in the refrigerator remains without spoiling if no dairy product is added while making the dish.

If any dairy ingredient, such as milk or cream, is added, the soup may not remain fresh after a day and can spoil quickly.

It is better to make fresh and consume within a few hours as marag made with milk and yogurt loses its freshness in a few hours.

Milk and yogurt do not last at room temperature, so the soup may not be edible if we make the dish using dairy ingredients.

If making the dish without dairy products, the soup can last for a day or two in the refrigerator.

Variations

Skip adding desiccated coconut if you do not prefer the coconut flavors in the soup.

If you like to try a curry using coconut, do try Indian coconut chicken curry which contains coconut as the main ingredient.

Chironji or charoli seeds can be skipped if the ingredient is unavailable.
