How to make Mutton Stew recipes

Mutton stew is a comforting and flavorful dish that’s perfect for a hearty meal. Here’s a basic recipe to get you started:

Ingredients:

• 1 kg mutton (cut into cubes)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 large onions (finely chopped)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1-inch piece ginger (grated)
• 2 large tomatoes (chopped)
• 2 carrots (sliced)
• 2 potatoes (peeled and cubed)
• 1 cup green peas (optional)
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup beef or chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Brown the Mutton:
   • Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
   • Add the mutton cubes and brown them on all sides. Remove the mutton from the pot and set aside.
2. Sauté the Aromatics:
   • In the same pot, add the onions, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onions are soft and golden brown.
3. Add Tomatoes and Spices:
   • Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they break down and become a thick paste.
   • Stir in the tomato paste, ground cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, and garam masala. Cook for a couple of minutes until fragrant.
4. Combine Ingredients:
   • Return the browned mutton to the pot. Stir to coat the meat with the tomato and spice mixture.
   • Pour in the beef or chicken broth and bring to a boil.
5. Simmer the Stew:
   • Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the mutton is tender. You may need to stir occasionally and add more broth or water if it gets too dry.
6. Add Vegetables:
   • Add the carrots, potatoes, and green peas (if using). Continue to simmer until the vegetables are cooked and the mutton is very tender.
7. Season and Serve:
   • Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
   • Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Tips:

• For a richer flavor, you can sear the mutton in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
• You can also add other vegetables like bell peppers or celery based on your preference.
• Adjust the spice levels according to your taste.

Enjoy your hearty and flavorful mutton stew!
