This is a nutritious, no-oily way to prepare mutton. I learnt this recipe from my mother.
What you need
Mutton (boneless) - 200 gm
Small onion - 100 gm
Big onion - 4-5
Garlic pods - 10
Ginger-garlic paste - 1 tsp
Carrot, grated - 1 cup
Coconut, grated - 1 cup
Green Chillies - 2
Curry leaves – a handful
Turmeric powder - 1 tsp
Lime juice - 1 tsp
For the seasoning (powdered)
Clove - 1
Cinnamon, small piece - 1 tsp
Fennel - 1/2 tsp
Oil - 2 tsp
Salt - to taste
Cooking instructions
Boil mutton with ginger-garlic paste, turmeric and salt.
Allow it to cool. Then shred the mutton so that it separates like fibre.
Heat oil in a frying pan, add seasoning and curry leaves. Then add chopped onions, garlic and green chillies. Fry till the onions turn golden brown.
Add the grated carrot, fry again.
Add the mutton.
Add chilli powder and salt.
When the mutton is fried well, add the coconut. Fry till the coconut turns brown and blends with the mutton.
Finally, add a few drops of lemon juice and remove from fire.
Garnish with coriander leaves and onion rings.
