Easy Zesty Indian Dry Mutton Fry Recipe (Video)

I’ve made this zesty Indian dry mutton fry recipe many times now! It’s a staple at my apartment and everyone who tries it loves it. It’s healthy and goes perfectly with roti – but not so much with rice because this is a dry curry.

I initially found the recipe on YouTube, but it’s in Hindi, so I’ve translated it for you below.

Ingredients

• 500 g boneless mutton
• 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
• 1 medium tomato
• 1/2 tsp coriander powder
• 1/4 tsp garam masala
• 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
• 1 tsp red chilli powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup water
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 10 curry leaves
• 3 green chillis
• 2 tbsp lemon juice

Method

1. Place the mutton, ginger garlic paste, tomato, spices (only the coriander, garam masala, turmeric, and chilli powder), and salt in a pressure cooker.
2. Mix the ingredients together in the pressure cooker, so the meat is coated.
3. Add water to pressure cooker and cook on medium flame for 4 whistles.
4. Wait for the pressure cooker to depressurise then remove the lid and boil until the liquid is nearly gone.
5. Heat oil in a pan then add the curry leaves and green chillis.
6. After a minute, add the mutton, then the lemon juice, and fry for 4 minutes.

It’s in Hindi, but you can watch for the cooking process. It’s quite self-explanatory.
