This pepper mutton curry is very easy to make and very few ingredients go into it. If anyone at home gets cold, cough or had fever and is recovering, my mom prepares this pepper mutton curry. We call it as kali mirch gosht ka saalan.
You can make this pepper mutton curry either a little dry type or thick gravy type. I have used pressure cooker to cook this dish, if you do not have one, you can use any vessel or kadai. Whenever I prepare this curry, I have it with plain rice with a drizzle of lemon juice, which gives me a sour and peppery taste. You can grind black peppercorns with onion or you can add coarsely ground pepper powder in the onion to make an onion paste. I have cooked the pepper mutton curry as semi-gravy type (little gravy coated with mutton).
Ingredients
- Mutton – 300 gms
- Oil – 2 tbsp
- Cloves – 2
- Cinnamon stick (1 inch) – 1
- Green cardamom – 2
- Water – 1 cup
- Salt – as per taste
- Coriander leaves (chopped) – 1 tbsp Paste
- Onion (medium size) – 1
- Coriander leaves (roughly chopped, thin stalks included) – 1 tbsp
- Ginger and garlic paste – 2 tsp
- Pepper powder (freshly and coarsely ground) – 2 tsp
Method
- Make a paste with onion, pepper powder, coriander leaves, ginger and garlic paste. After grinding keep the paste aside.
- Take a pressure cooker or any vessel, add the mutton pieces, oil, whole spices, ground paste all together and cook according to your cooker instructions. 3 to 4 whistles were enough to cook the mutton with my cooker.
- Wait for a few minutes until all the steam in the cooker cools down. Open the lid when there is no more steam. Add salt and coriander leaves and stir well.
- If the gravy is thin, cook for a few more minutes, until the gravy is according to the consistency you want and starts leaving oil.
- Simmer for about 5 mins and switch the heat off.
- If cooking in a kadai, put all ingredients and close the lid and cook until the mutton is cooked well and a gravy consistency is formed. Simmer for another 5 mins and switch the heat off. Stir occasionally so that it does not stick to the vessel.
- The gravy has a peppery colour. Serve the pepper mutton curry with rice or chapathi or naan or pulao.
- Squeeze some lemon juice on the gravy and eat it with plain rice. It will be sour and peppery and tastes great.
Notes
- If the mutton is not cooked, add more water and cook.
- You can cook this dish even with chicken.
- You can adjust the quantity of pepper powder according to your taste.
