Spicy Mutton Masala Recipe with step by step pictures. This recipe is a popular and delicious dish that can be made with basic ingredients available in your kitchen.
Spicy Mutton Masala
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.

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

Aarthi
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!

Half cup means how much. I don't think 250 ml is enough for 6 whistles.
Aarthi
Water will come out of mutton as well. this is a thick dish so you dont need much water

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.

Hi Aarthi,
Tried this and it turned out so yummy! thanks for this amazing recipe. If I have to make this in instant pot what would you suggest to be the pressure cook time? 25-30 mins?
Thanks!

It was really helpful and informative. Honestly, I was able to cook without much complexity. Thanks for this wonderful recipe.
