Ingredients

300 grams mutton, cut into pieces
1 cup gram flour (besan)
2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
1 teaspoon red chili powder
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon coriander powder
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
2 tablespoons oil
1 cup yogurt
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 green chilies finely chopped
1 bunch fresh coriander leaves, chopped
1 bunch fresh mint leaves, chopped
salt to taste
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 cup water

Instructions

  1. 1 In a bowl, mix gram flour with a pinch of salt and water to form a smooth batter.
  2. 2 Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds. Let them splutter.
  3. 3 Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
  4. 4 Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for a minute until the raw smell disappears.
  5. 5 Add mutton pieces, red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  7. 7 Pour in water, cover the pan, and let the mutton simmer until it is tender.
  8. 8 In a separate pan, heat a little oil and pour in the gram flour batter to make small dumplings (muthias). Cook them until they are golden brown and set aside.
  9. 9 Once the mutton is cooked, add the muthias to the curry along with green chilies, chopped coriander, and mint leaves.
  10. 10 Sprinkle garam masala over the dish and let it simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  11. 11 Serve hot with rice or bread.

Tips

For a richer flavor, you can add a tablespoon of ghee along with the oil when cooking the mutton.
