Mutton Pepper Fry

Ingredients required

• 5 garlic cloves
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 2 tsp pepper
• 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
• 2 tsp coriander powder
• 1/2 tsp garam masala
• 2  lbs goat meat cut in medium size
• 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
• 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
• 1 medium size finely chopped onion
• Salt to taste
• 3-5 green chillies slit in halfway
• 1 tbsp oil
• 10-12 curry leaves

Put garlic, cumin seeds and pepper in a mixer/blender and give it a spin. Don't make them into paste. It should be coarse so that it gives nice taste. You can also crush them if you don't want to grind.

Heat oil in a pan. Use a pinch of cumin seeds. Wait until cumin seeds finish popping. Put onions. Deep fry the onions till it becomes soft. Use salt to speed up. Add turmeric powder and ginger-garlic paste. Make sure the raw smell disappears. Put the meat into this and add water. Boil them till you are able to split the meat into two half using your spatula. Save the left over water. Keep this separate.

You can use the same pan. Add oil if you need. Add the curry leaves and green chillies. Fry a minute. Then put the garlic-cumin seed-pepper ground paste. [You can also add a tsp red chilli powder here. But it might be too spicy. You can add this later if you need.] Quickly add coriander powder and left over water from that meat. If nothing is left over, you can add fresh water. The paste will get burnt or sticky. So add very little water. Make sure the above masalas cook well. Add the cooked meat. Add the garam masala. Mix them well. Check if you need salt. Adjust the seasoning too if you need. After ten minutes, pepper-mutton-fry should be ready to eat. Enjoy! Try and post your comments
