How to buy mutton:
- Mutton while buying should always have packaged date and expiry date and one should always try to buy fresh red meat and not the meat that has been cut for days.
- Always make sure to use a lamb which tastes better than using the meat of an aged sheep or goat. It takes time to get cooked or to tenderize and the taste too changes as compared to buying the meat of a lamb.
- Always check the dates on the packing while buying them from stores.
This dish is a curry recipe which can be eaten with roti or rice and is a popular dish all across India and mainly it is made in Hyderabad.

This is however an easy recipe but since it is a mutton recipe, it requires lots of patience to be cooked well. It is better to use pressure cooker to make meat recipes as the tenderizing process takes a lot of time if cooked in a cooking vessel.
This is a gravy kind of a recipe and there are few gravy recipes of mutton on my blog. Therefore, I decided to post this wonderful recipe which is best when eaten with rice or roti or naan.

The items that go into the dish are common ingredients but onions and tomatoes are the key ingredients along with yogurt.
All these recipes are purely halal and made out of goat meat. I pay a lot of attention in the selection of meat as that decides the final taste of the recipe.
Good quality meat gives a tasty flavor to the entire dish. These kind of recipes are apt to make when there are many members available at home. Mutton Masala recipe is one of my favorite recipes.
The name of the dish itself shows that the recipe needs masala and in this recipe I am going to direct on how to prepare the delicious mutton masala.

What have you added in mutton masala powder??? U didn’t mention it
Its a ready made masala powder which is available in indian markets but, i would say the dish taste delicious even if mutton masala powder is skipped as we add garam masala powder into it. It is just an optional ingredient which could be skipped if you don’t find them at the stores…Thnks fr the question attia…
What’s the amount of yogurt to be used in ml ?
1 cup is equal to about 150ml of yogurt…Hope I have answered the question and hope you enjoy making it….

Can I cook in an open pan instead of cooker
Yes Gauranga, it tastes even more better in an open pan but, cook atleast for 45 minutes until the mutton cooks completely…
Hi,
How many whistles required If we use pressure cooker?
3 whistles on low flame and 5-6 whistles on high flame.
Was awesome..
Will a slow cooker work too?
Yes absolutely, slow cooking of mutton tastes even more good but do not overcook as the real taste of mutton lies in perfect cooking and not in over cooking…

yes i shall share it as I update my blog
