Directions

1

Wash the meat well and pat it dry. Peel the potatoes and cut them to size.

2

Marinate the meat with 3 tbsps of yoghurt, 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp red chilli powder, 1 tbsp mustard oil, 2 inches fresh ginger root, peeled and made into a paste or grated, 1 & a 1/2 tbsp garlic paste and 2 green chillies made into a coarse paste.

3

Deep-fry the potatoes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

4

Heat the mustard oil in a pan.

5

Add the onion paste, garlic paste and ginger paste. Fry till they turn brown.

6

Now toss in the mutton and add Shelly’s Mutton Jhol Masala to it.

7

Braise the meat with the spices and stir frequently for some time to avoid it sticking to the pan. Make sure the spice mix coats the meat pieces well.

8

Add the warm water and the pre-fried potato chunks, sprinkle some salt to taste. Cover this with a tight fitting lid.

9

Cook the meat until it is almost done and tender.

10
