Mutton Pepper Fry

Mutton Pepper Fry

Today's recipe is a dry mutton dish which can be served with chapathi, appam or rice. I love adding pepper to non-vegetarian dishes especially mutton. This dish has vibrant flavor which you will love, the earthy spices, the spicy heat of black pepper and aroma coriander leaves .The marinated mutton is first pressure cooked and then stir fried with onions and a flavorful ground masala.  Try this recipe,you will surely love it.

To Pressure cook

1)Mutton - 1 lb
Turmeric powder- 1/2 tsp

Clean and wash mutton pieces. Marinate with ingredients listed under (1) and keep aside for half an hour. Pressure cook this for about 15 minutes( 5 whistles). If there is excess gravy continue cooking till all the water is absorbed.
Dry roast fennel seeds, cinnamon stick, black pepper and cloves and allow to cool.Make a paste of this along with a few curry leaves,coriander leaves, ginger and garlic and keep aside.
Heat oil in a pan ( I used coconut oil) and add curry leaves and then chopped shallots. Saute this till it is golden brown. Now add the ground paste and saute till the raw flavor disappears and oil separates. Add the cooked mutton and mix and coat well. Continue shallow frying for about four to five minutes in low flame till the masala is slightly browned. Garnish with few fresh curry leaves and squeeze some lemon juice before serving.
