Preparation Time:45 min                      
Serves:4

Ingredients:

Mutton 3/4 kg
Big onion 1(large,chopped)
Ginger 1 square shape(crushed)+2 inch piece(crushed)
Garlic 8 cloves(crushed)
Chilly powder 2 tspoon
Turmeric powder 1 tspoon
Coriander powder 1&1/2 tspoon

Cardamom 5
Cinnamon 2 inch stick
Cumin seeds 1/2 tspoon
Salt 1/2 cup
 Oil 2 tspoon
Ghee 2 tspoon
Pepper Powder 2 tspoon
Water 1/2 cup

To roast and grind:

Oil 1 tspoon
Grated coconut 1/2 cup

Preparation:

(1) Wash and clean mutton. Cut into medium pieces. Keep it aside.

(2) Heat oil in a pan. Add grated coconut into it. Saute till the color changes to brownish. Take care not to burn it. Allow it to cool.

(3) Once it is cooled grind it in a mixer and make a fine powder. Keep it aside.

(4) Mean while heat oil in a bottomed pan. Pour oil. To the hot oil add cardamom, bay leaves, and cinnamon.Saute till it emanates its unique flavor. To this add crushed ginger and garlic. Saute till raw smell goes off. Now add onion slices with half tspoon of salt. Saute till the color changes to light brown.

(5) Add curry leaves. Saute well. To this add turmeric powder, chilly powder and coriander powder. Mix well. Add salt. Now add ground coconut powder to it. Mix well and switch off the flame. Keep this masala aside.

(6) Heat a pressure cooker. Transfer the prepared masala to pressure cooker(you can prepare the above masala in a cooker too). Also add chopped mutton pieces. Add half cup of water to it( As i want more gravy, i increased the amount of water).  Mix well. Make a salt test here. Pressure cook for 3 whistles.

(7) Switch off the flame and allow it to cool down naturally.


(8) Mean while heat ghee in a pan. Add crushed garlic. Saute till raw smell goes off. To this add pepper powder. Saute well. Transfer the cooked mutton to this pan and mix well. Add garam masala. Mix well

(9) Heat it till moisture evaporates and oil separates(I already added more water for gravy that you can see in the below picure. Usually mutton chops will be more or less dry). Switch off the flame and close the vessel with a lid(It will attain dark brown color when the flavor sets).Your mutton chops is now ready.


Have it with your chappathi/appam/rice..
