- Place the mutton in a pot, add water and half a teaspoon of turmeric, and leave the mutton in turmeric water for 5 minutes.
- Then wash the mutton chunks a few times.
- Place in a colander to drain excess water for a few minutes before you follow the next step of cooking the mutton(goat)curry.
- In a slightly large pan, pour in the oil, and add onions, garlic-ginger paste, curry leaves, cardamom pods, pandan leaf, and cinnamon stick.
- Once the onions turn soft and you get the aroma of the pandan leaf and ginger garlic paste.
- This would take 5-7 minutes then add the chopped tomato(tomato paste as a substitute), and green chillies.
- Cook further for a few seconds over a low-medium fire.
- Reduce heat to low. add the spice powders in the following order, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder
- Cook for a few minutes until you are left with a dark coarse spice mixture this would take 5-10 minutes.
- Include the Mutton into the pan and incorporate it with the mixture.
- Leave it to cook for a few minutes, mixing occasionally, 10-15 minutes.
- Pour in the water, season with salt and let the mutton curry simmer until the water is reduced.
- Don’t cook on high heat to hurry the cooking process as it just evaporates the water, leaving the meat still half-cooked.
- As the mutton curry cooks, check on the tenderness of the meat, if the mutton is still semi-tough then add extra water.
- You will notice the mutton gravy thickening and changing colour.
- Once the water is reduced almost to the bottom, add coconut milk.
- Check on the seasoning and add salt if needed.
- Cover and cook over low-medium heat for at least 45 minutes to an hour until the meat is tender.
- If you find you need a bit of gravy-like me, just add 1/2 a cup of water, by this point, there’s already a thick gravy which can absorb the water but still keep its thick consistency.
- Serve warm with any of the side dish options mentioned above.
