Nadan Mutton Curry/ Kerala Mutton Curry




Nadan Mutton curry

Nadan mutton curry is deliciously spicy and a much-coveted dish in restaurants and eateries in Kerala. This luscious flavored mutton curry has the deep essence of Kerala cooking, with aromatic spices and coconut abundantly available in the state. If you wish for some spicy non vegetarian weekend meal, here is one to relish. This curry is magical, with few ingredients, but with great flavors. For me, it is a homey dish that my family adores. It tastes divine with Kerala parottas or with soft lacy appam, you can also serve this steamed rice, puttu, or chapati.

Naadan mutton curry is easy to make. What makes this dish flavorful and inviting is the flavor of fresh ground masala, coconut oil, and the fresh taste of curry leaves. In this recipe, I have also added mint. I love adding fried mint in my homemade mutton curry just like my mom( but it is optional). There are chilies- lots of them for a fiery look, and I prefer Kashmiri chilly, which has color and less heat. Together with earthy spices and black pepper, the gravy has the right balance of taste and flavor. The curry is aromatic and flavorful with warm earthy spices, onion, ginger and garlic curry leaves, and coconut oil. Fried coconut bits add a crunch and a little sweetness to every bite. The gravy is rich and delicious, and the meat is slow-cooked till it is succulent and tender. You can use a pressure cooker or an Instant pot, and it is easy to put together in under 30 minutes. So get your ingredients together and try this recipe. Let me know how it turned out for you:)

Add shallots and fry till golden brown and add turmeric powder, coriander powder, and half of the garam masala and chilly powder.
Fry till raw flavor disappears and adds the marinated mutton and 1/2 cup of water. Pressure cook till three whistles on medium flame and let it slowly cook for 10-15 minutes. When the pressure releases, remove the lid and allow it to simmer.

My birthday also comes in December, so it is a double celebration for me :) How is the Christmas planning coming along for everyone? It is exactly three weeks for Christmas and I am planning to share a few recipes for the holidays this year. This is the first one I wanted to share with all of you -Kerala style sweet delicacy- a real nostalgia, the Black Halwa. Halwas has always amazed me with its simplicity, unique texture and taste. It is a gel-like sweet candy that you can never stop eating. When making halwa there is a time-honored cooking technique and halwa making is time-consuming.

But that is not the case w
