Mutton Stew




Mutton Stew is a traditional breakfast recipe of Kerala and is a great accompaniment with appam, palappam and idiyappam. It is mutton and potatoes stewed in coconut milk and flavored with whole spices. This light stew may not look very appetizing but its mild flavor and taste is a delight to the palate. I have just used potatoes and mutton, but you can also add in other veggies like carrots. You can also add Vinegar,but it is optional.


Ingredients
Mutton- 1  lb
Potato- 2 small
Onion thinly sliced- 2 medium
Ginger- 1 inch thick
Garlic- 3-4 pods
Green chilly- 7-8
Thick coconut milk- 1 cup
Thin coconut milk- 2 cup
Cinnamon- 1 stick
Clove- 4-5
Cardamon-2
Whole pepper- 8-10
Fennel seeds- 1/2 tsp
nutmeg- a pinch
Mustard seeds- 1/2 tsp
Curry leaves
salt to taste
Ghee- 1 tsp
oil

In a pan or a pressure cooker heat oil and add in whole garam masala ( Cinnamon, Cardamon, clove, pepper and fennel seeds) Once there is a nice aroma add in thinly sliced onions and saute for a few seconds( just sweating the onions)and add in slit green chilly, sliced ginger, garlic and saute till the raw flavor disappears. Add in mutton and potato pieces enough salt and thin coconut milk and close the lid and cook till the mutton is completely cooked. Add the thick coconut milk and nutmeg powder add allow the curry to get warm. Do not heat up too much. In a separate pan add one tsp of ghee and add mustard seeds and when they splutter add curry leaves and fry a bit. Add this on top of the curry and keep lid closed till it is ready to serve. Enjoy with appam.

Hope you will all enjoy..

Kerala Beef Vindaloo- Anglo-Indian Recipe

Kerala Beef Vindaloo Vindaloo is often synonymous with fiery, bold, pungent curries. It is one Indian curry that needs no introduction. It is lip-smacking delicious, tenderly cooked meat in a spicy gravy. It is almost pickle like with flavor of vinegar and ground mustard. But again, the perfect vindaloo curry strikes the right balance with chilies, aromatic spices, and vinegar- a perfect balance of acidity, spicy heat, and flavor of earthy spices. Authentic Goan Vindaloo is made with pork, but you can also use beef or mutton. Vindaloo may sound complicated, but it is an easy recipe. You can make a restaurant-style curry right in your kitchen. Today I am sharing two ways to cook this recipe. The  traditional slow-cooked stove top recipe  and  an Instant pot recipe . Recently I have been making this curry in Instant pot and it comes out perfect each time. Beef Vindaloo is a quintessential dish for Christmas feasts in Kerala. It is popular among Christians and the Anglo-I

Uzhunnu Vada/Urad Dal Vada

Uzhunnu Vada/Urad Dal Vada Uzhunnu vada or medu vada is a very common snack in south India and is a perfect accompaniment with a cup of hot piping tea.I like it as a snack but again cannot resist when it is served with idli,sambar and chutney as breakfast. One might wonder where does all the aroma come from? The  plain deep fried lentils is by itself flavorful because I make them often for  vada curry. But in uzhunnu vada the addition of pearl onions,ginger and curry leaves imparts a wonderful aroma that is irresistible.This is something I really missed when I came here to the US until I started making my home made version. Try this you will surely love it. Ingredients Urad Dal/Black lentil skinless- 1 cup Rice flour- 2 tsp Pearl Onions- 4-5 Ginger finely chopped- 1 inch thick Curry leaves finely chopped- 1 spring Green chilly  finely chopped- 3 Whole black pepper- 5-6 salt to taste Oil- 2 cup to fry Wash and soak urad dal and rice for about 4-5 hours.
