I like those weekends when suddenly there is a bottle of wine, tastiest of meat on a plate and simple bread to go with. I can only say I'm truly blessed to be here, and if you are reading this you are blessed too because you will make it beautiful day after trying this recipe! :)

Keep smiling, keep cooking!
Ingredients:
- 250 gms of mutton/lamb (medium pieces)
- 2 tbsp of thick curd
- 1 tsp of chilli powder
- 2 tsp of salt
- 1 onion (thin slices)
- 1 tomato (thin slices)
- 1/4 tsp of fennel seeds
- 1 tbsp of crushed ginger
- 1 tbsp of crushed garlic
- 3 red chillies
- 6-7 curry leaves
- 1 tbsp of chopped coriander leaves
- 1/4 tsp of garam masala
- 1/2 tsp of pepper
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 3-4 cloves
- 1 elaichi
- 3-4 tbsp of groundnut oil
- 1/4 cup of water
Method:
- In a bowl, mix the mutton, curd, crushed garlic, ginger, 1 tsp of salt and chilli powder. Cover it and let it rest for 30 - 45 minutes. Longer the better.
- Heat oil in a cooker, add cinnamon, fennel, clove, elaichi, chillies and curry leaves. Allow it to splutter.
- Then add onion and saute for 5 minutes on medium heat.
- Once it changes colour, add the marinated mutton along with the tomatoes. Mix well. Stir occasionally for about 8-9 minutes.
- Pour water and pop the lid. Allow 4-5 whistles on low flame. Let it cool. Please do not force the pressure out, it would probably ruin your day.
- Now heat the mutton gravy and allow it to bubble till it thickens. The consistency should be semi-dry. Ofcourse if you want it to go with rice you can leave it bubble for lesser time.
- Garnish with coriander and serve with bread, wine and what not :)
Keep smiling, keep cooking!
