Recipe: Mutton stew
When raindrops are falling pitter-patter and you are in a mood for something really nourishing and hot, nothing can beat the aroma and taste of home-made mutton stew. And just in case, you think it takes hours to make this delicious stew, you couldn’t be more wrong! It’s a simple dish and even an amateur cook can make it.
Ingredients:
Fresh mutton: 1 kg.
Coarsely chopped onions: 4
Finely chopped garlic: 1 tablespoon
Badi elaichi: 2
Cinnamon stick: 2
Peppercorns: 8 – 10
Bay leaves: 2-3
Ghee: Two tablespoons
Salt: To taste
Method:
Wash the mutton and put it in a pressure cooker, along with all the ingredients (except ghee). Add one and a half glass of water, put the lid and pressure cook on slow flame for 12 minutes. Close the gas and open the cooker when it cools down. Check if the mutton is done and the onions have turned into thick paste, clinging to the meat with gay abundance. If there is extra water left, let it evaporate on slow flame. Add desi ghee just before serving and enjoy the exotic aroma and amazing taste.
