This is a dish which i tried for this diwali lunch. We invited my newly wed brother and her wife for lunch that day and i made few dishes like chicken fry, garlic tomato chicken roast, chettinaad mutton curry, and this one. They all turned out great and don’t worry i have pictures taken for you.
Now about this mutton masala, it is quite a simple dish, you can make it start from finish in pressure cooker, but i made it in a separate frying pan so you can look what is happening more clearly. So try this out and let me know how it turned out.
Preparation Time : 15 mins
Marinating Time : 30 mins
Cooking Time : 1 Hour 15 Mins
Serves – 3 to 4
Ingredients:
Mutton / Lamb – 1/2 kg cut into small pieces
Oil – 3 tblspn
Fennel Seeds / Sombu / Saunf – 2 tsp
Onion – 1 large sliced finely
Curry leaves – 1 sprig
Ginger Garlic Paste – 2 tblspn
Green Chilli – 2 slit
Tomatoes – 2 large chopped finely
Water – 1/2 cup ( if needed)
For Marination:
Yogurt / Curd – 1/2 cup
Chilli powder – 2 tsp
Coriander powder / Malli podi – 1 tblspn
Cumin Powder / Jeera podi – 1 tsp
Turmeric Powder / Manjal podi – 1 tsp
Garam Masala Powder – 1 tblspn
Pepper Powder – 1 tsp
Salt to taste
Method:
Take cleaned mutton pieces in a bowl. Add in all the marination ingredients in it and mix well. Let this marinate for a good 30 mins. You can leave it in fridge overnight too. If so take it out a hour before you cook so it comes to room temp.
Heat oil in a kadai. You can do this whole thing in pressure cooker. I used a kadai so you can see what is happening in it.
Add in fennel seeds and let it sizzle. followed by onions, chilli and curry leaves. Saute this for 5 mins or so.
Now add in ginger garlic paste and saute for a min.
Now add in tomatoes. Cover and cook till it turns mushy.
Now add in the marinated mutton along with all the marination.Mix well.
Pour this whole thing in a pressure cooker, add 1/2 cup water if needed and cook for 6 to 7 whistle. Simmer and cook for a 20 mins. Now switch off the flame and let the steam all escape. Open the pressure cooker and mix well.
Serve with rice.

Can I replace chopped onions with sliced
Can I replace chopped onions with sliced
@Anonymousyes u can
I found your recipe while doing a search for mutton masala. I didn't know what mutton masala was. I thought that it was a dry powder or herb or some kind of liquid. So it is actually an entire dish. I'm new to Indian cooking. I was previously reading someone else's recipe for lamb curry. One of their ingredients was 2 Tbsp mutton masala. Does this mean they want me to cook an entire mutton masala dish on the side just for the juices and use it in their lamb curry? Or is this 2 Tbsp mutton masala some kind of powder or herb? Thanks for any help you can offer. Here is their recipe, if you need to take a look: http://uktv.co.uk/food/recipe/aid/644385#comments
@Ken Tran
Mutton masala is a kind of garam masala powder where many spices are ground together. It can be easily found in indian super markets. Look in the powdered spices section
hi , i tried this recipe it has come out very well, but is a litgtle sour coz of the curd i think is there ny way to reduce its sourness and retain the spiciness ?
@Aishwarya Nathanadd a little sugar. it helps in reducing the sourlevel
Hi Aarthi,

mam.. i am not sure about how much time i want to cook that mutton dish in pressure cooker..? can u plz tell me how much viseel the mutton required to cook in pressure cooker from your experience in cooking with pressure cooker
@devimutton will take long to cook.. cook for 6 to 7 whistle. Simmer and cook for a 20 mins. Now switch off the flame and let the steam all escape. Open the pressure cooker and mix well.
So glad that I could find this recipe…can I know that what are the type of chilli powder that you used in this dish? Is it the ordinary red chilli powder using for meat?
@Makan Kakii used kashmiri chilli powder
Hi Aarthi,
Can I use small onions for this recipe? Will it turn sweet if I do so?
@AnonymousNo u can use small onions, it adds nice flavour and taste
Thanks Aarthi for such a delicious Recipe. Its nice and so tasty
Thanks Aarthi for this Delicious Mutton Masala Recipe I am Inspired by your Recipe..Thanks

hi Aarthi im ur fan. I like to ask u one question why u always add chillies and curryleaves with its stem does it add any special flavours?
Love this recipe. Your directions are excellent. Thanks for sharing and bringing this delicious meal into our house. Christine
Hi tried pepper fry it came out very well, my kid liked it,in this mutton Masala instead of curd can I use lime juice
Yogurt is important in this
Hi Aarthi, one quick question: you say "Mutton / Lamb – 1/2 kg cut into small pieces". Should I read that as "HALF" kg, or "ONE OR TWO" kg? I have two kg lamb and I'm trying to figure out how much to adjust the spice quantities. Thanks a ton for your lovely blog!
Hi aarthi to get more gravy can I add coconut
yes u can
Tried this dish it was yummy .thanks for Ur recipe
Half cup means how much. I don't think 250 ml is enough for 6 whistles.
Water will come out of mutton as well. this is a thick dish so you dont need much water
Quantity of water u added?
Cooked this recipe yesterday for my in-laws and they loved it! Was hoping to keep some for our dinner but was all wiped out at lunch time! 🙂 I tried the recipe without the fennel seeds (i ran out and didnt have time to buy more), marinated overnight, added potatoes and garnished with fried shallots, mint leaves and coriander leaves. Served them with ghee rice and pineapple salad. It was a hit! Thank you so much Aarthi for this easy and delicious recipe.
The UK is in lockdown at the moment, so my husband and I can’t go to our favourite Indian restaurant. Instead I make curries at home, and this one was fabulous! Thank you , Aarthi.
