Nadan Mutton Curry




Nadan Mutton curry

If you wish for some spicy non vegetarian recipes here is one to relish on...nadan mutton curry made with authentic Kerala spices. 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 home made mutton curry just like my mom( but it is optional). It is spicy and delicious and is a great combo with rice, ghee rice or appam


Ingredients

Mutton - 1 kg
Shallots sliced- 2 cups
Onion- 1 small
Coconut slices- a few
Green chilly-5-6
Ginger and garlic minced- 4-5 tsp
Chilly powder- 1 1/2 tsp
Coriander powder- 3 tsp
Turmeric powder- 1/2 tsp
Garam Masala- 1 1/3 tsp
Fennel powder- 1/2 tsp
pepper powder- 1/2 tsp
clove - 2
cinnamon stick- 1 small
Curry leaves- 1 spring
Mint leaves-a few
oil 
salt to taste




Cut mutton pieces into small cubes and marinate with pepper powder,salt, turmeric powder, fennel powder and a few curry leaves and set aside for half an hour.
Heat 2 tbs of oil in a pan ( preferably pressure cooker ) and add whole spices, cinnamon and clove followed by minced ginger, garlic and green chilly. Saute till raw flavor disappears. Add shallots and fry till golden brown followed by turmeric powder, coriander powder and half of garam masala and chilly powder.
Fry till raw flavor disappears and add marinated mutton and one cup of water. Pressure cook in medium flame for 10-15 minutes. Remove lid and allow to simmer.
Heat one tsp of oil in a pan and add mint leaves and curry leaves and fry till crispy.Reduce flame and add the rest of the chilly powder and fry for a few seconds and pour this over the curry and mix well and allow the gravy to thicken. Sprinkle a little of garam masala just before switching off. Serve with rice or appam.
