1/2 cup Yogurt / Curd
Curry Leaves for Garnishing

Method of Preparation

1) In a pressure cooker melt ghee, add ginger garlic paste and turmeric powder.Mix well and then add the mutton pieces,some salt and saute in the ghee for 5 minutes.Then add 1/2 cup of water..Do not add too much of water..Cook for 5 Whistles on a medium heat or until the meat is soft and tender. Transfer the mutton stew in a bowl.

The reason why we are separating the pieces form the liquid is we want to make mutton roast not mutton gravy and at the same time we don’t want to waste this mutton stew. so we are going to add it to the masala and reduce it and then we are going to add the mutton pieces that way mutton will be nicely roasted and will retain all the flavor.

2) To make Masala for Mutton Ghee roast, I am adding kashmiri chilies (Kashmiri Chilies adds a nice color to the recipe and at the same time they are less spicy. If you don't have kashmiri Chilies then replace this with 4-5 regular chilies). Roast the other spices Coriander seeds, Pepper corns, Fennel seeds, Cumin seeds, Cinnamon, Cloves, Star anise, Cardomom and Kashmiri chilies and roast it for some time until you feel the nice aroma of the roasted spices and be careful no not burn them. Add 1/2 tsp oil in the same pan and add garlic, ginger and shallots and roast them nicely till we get nice aroma..

Step 3) Transfer all the roasted spices to a blender and along with this add 1 tbsp of lemon juice and grind it to a smooth paste by adding some water.

Step 4) To make mutton Ghee roast melt some ghee in a pan and add the ground masala and also add the mutton stew (broth) which we have separated initially and mix well with the masalas. Now to this, add yogurt to it and mix this well with the ghee. Add some salt if required.We need to cook this until the gravy thickens and reduces.

Step 5) Now you can see the gravy is nice and thick, the ghee which we have added has oozed out now its time to add the cooked mutton pieces and mix well with the gravy.After mixing nicely cook this for another 4-5 minutes on a medium heat. Finally add some curry leaves and coriander leaves for garnishing and turn off the heat.

If you want a gravy kind of thing then you can add the mutton pieces along with the broth at the end and cook for 5 minutes in the masala.

Our Delicious Mutton Ghee roast is ready to be served.

Serve.
