When the gravy is this good, you need extra roti! πŸ˜‚

Mutton Gravy

πŸ“½ @faads_na 
Recipe: @recipehubwithlubna2020

Ingredients
Β½ cup oil
4 onions, chopped
1Β½ kg mutton pieces
4 tbls ginger & garlic paste
7 tomatoes, liquidised
Water, as required
Spices:
4 tsp salt, or to taste
2 tbls chilli powder
1 tsp extra-hot chilli powder
4 tbls cumin & coriander powder
1 tsp turmeric
3 tsp garam masala
ΒΎ tsp nutmeg powder
1Β½ cups yoghurt
3 tsp dried fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi)

For garnishing:
Fresh ginger
Green chillies
Fresh coriander

Method
β†’ Heat oil in a pot and add the chopped onions
β†’ Fry until light brown
β†’ Add the mutton pieces and ginger & garlic paste, then sauté well
β†’ Add the liquidised tomatoes
β†’ Add water and cook until the mutton is tender. I pressure cooked mine for 15 minutes
β†’ Add the salt, chilli powder, extra-hot chilli powder, cumin & coriander powder, turmeric, garam masala and nutmeg powder
β†’ Cook for a few minutes
β†’ Add the yoghurt and mix well
β†’ Cook until the oil separates from the gravy
β†’ Add the dried fenugreek leaves and mix well
β†’ Garnish with ginger, green chillies and fresh coriander
β†’ Serve hot with roti or naan

My note: I tripled the original recipe, which would have meant using 1Β½ cups of oil. I reduced it to 1 cup, but honestly, I still found that a little too much. Next time, I’d use only Β½ cup oil. It was, however, absolutely delicious! 🀀

This salad is one of those things I could honestly eat straight out of the bowl πŸ˜‚πŸ₯’πŸŒΏ

So fresh, creamy, crunchy and full of flavour! It’s delicious just like that, but add a piece of grilled chicken and you’ve got yourself a simple, light meal. 🀌🏼

This salad takes just a few minutes to throw together and is the perfect side for almost any meal. The lemony yoghurt dressing with fresh dill is what makes it! 🀌🏼
