I came across this recipe through david rocco's cooking show. I fell in love with it because of its simplicity. It calls for few simple spices and spice powders. It turns out so yummy and so beautiful to look at it as well. The bright red colour with a thin layer of ghee floating over it makes it so appetizing..
This curry is made with mutton with bones..You can also use boneless too.. It taste so yummy with pretty much anything, specially chapati, rice, curd rice, coconut rice, parota or anything your heart desire..

Then , how you get this rich red colour of the curry ?

where did she get red color from in the pot does not look red an less she put lots of food color
Bango Tango
The color is from the oil settling on the top after a rest period. If you stirred it up and resuspended the oil the color would return to a creamy yellow.

no that red colour is because of different chilli powder

It looks yum! I came across another recipe on chatorediaries which is different from this one and I thought it was original. Will try this recipe and see which is better.

@sutapa Purkayasthait is from the kashmiri chilli powder

Something looks wrong wid ur last 2 pics. The curry color has suddenly turned red from brown. r u bullshitting us?
Aarthi
@AnonymousIt is because those cooking pictures are taken at night without any flash and the main presentation pics are taken in the morning. Hence the difference.
P.S. Please avoid giving rude comments. Comment with some manners.

Hi Aarthi - You are doing a wonderful job. It takes patience to capture so many pics and write articulate recipes and to do it day after day, it certainly requires appreciation.
Please refrain from addressing those filthy comments. Just ignore.
I just want to make sure you are appreciated.

Aarthi
@AnonymousYes u can use oil

Hi
U r doing a great job ur mutton curry looks like rogangosh is it the same

Have tried this one. Just to add that color and taste comes from Kashmiri Mirch and Dahi (Curd) that you use. Super delicious.

I've never head Lamb before, your dish looks great, and i love indian food, i am going to check out your other recipes! Thank you!

Hey Arati,
Can you add a provision in your blog to save the recipe ,say like to Bigoven or something similar..? It would be really helpful
siddharthanigam
Don't we have to add any Masala ( Garam masala or Mutton ready mix masala ) ??
Jovial Fernandes
Hi.. What I do is,
Use Mutton from younger animal.. Meat is more tender..
After washing this meat, I marinate it overnight with curd and powder spices as mentioned in your recipe... I feel that the curd tenderises the meat further and let's it soak in the flavours... Result,.. Meat so tender it melts in the mouth..
Jovial Fernandes
Those asking why the colour has turned red its because after cooking the Kashmir chili powder gives that colour to the fat / ghee making the dish appear red...
Happens with my Pork Vindaloo too 😄

Can we cook it without pressure cooker, please share the recipe
Yogsingh
Thanks . Can I use Mustard oil ?
John Hill
Made this couple times with lamb shoulder chops cut up. Its great, more wooried about the taste than colour but it seems to come out right using kashmiri powder.
Craig
Thank you for this recipe! Been always cooking in a Kadam after pressure cooking the mutton. Will try this curry out on Sunday

This looks great, I am sure would taste heavenly too. But this is not rajasthani Laal Maans. You need to add cloves & clove powder, there should be no corainder powder. Make chilli paste using mathania chillies 7 add. Add ghee garlic tadhka in end. Also add smoke (dhungar) in the end.
Mandeep Luthra
Hi Keshab !
Try Laal Maas recipe by RB. That one is authentic . Good luck

Red colour is from the Kashmiri chilli powder. I use the same in chicken tikka to achieve the right colour and spicy ness all in one. No artificial colours for me...
Vikash Mishra
wow, what an amazing non-veg recipe is this!! thanks for sharing, I will definitely try to cook this recipe by following your instruction..
L. Devaraj
Hi Aarti,
I followed your recipe and used almost all the ingredient listed except for ghee, (which I did not have ), I used oil.
You were right, the Kashmiri chilli powder gave the curry the most beautiful red colour !
My husband, my 2 guests loved it 🙂
Thank you very much for sharing this recipe.
The curry turned out absolutely delicious!!!!!
patrick tan
