How to Make Mutton Masala – Step-by-Step Recipe

Step 1: Heat the Mustard Oil

Heat mustard oil in a pressure cooker until it slightly smokes. This removes its raw smell and adds a rich rustic flavor.

Step 2: Add Whole Spices

Add cumin seeds, bay leaves, dried red chilies, garlic cloves, and whole garam masala. Let them sizzle for a few seconds.

Step 3: Add Mutton and Onions

Now add the cleaned mutton and chopped onions. Mix in turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt.

Step 4: Cook the Masala

Sauté everything well until the onions turn golden and the masala starts to coat the mutton evenly. (You may add a pinch of readymade mutton masala here for a deeper flavor.)

Step 5: Pressure Cook on Low Flame

Close the cooker lid and let the mutton cook on low heat. This slow cooking helps the meat become tender and juicy.

Step 6: Finish with Desi Ghee

Once cooked, open the lid and add 2 tablespoons of pure ghee. Mix well and let it simmer for a minute.
