Mutton Vindaloo is a flavorful and spicy Indian curry dish with Portuguese origins. Here’s a traditional recipe for you to try:

Ingredients:

For the Marinade:

• 500 grams of mutton, cut into pieces
• 4-5 cloves of garlic
• 1-inch piece of ginger
• 3-4 dried red chilies
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
• 2 teaspoons vinegar (preferably malt vinegar)
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• Salt to taste

For the Curry:

• 2 tablespoons oil (vegetable or mustard oil)
• 2 large onions, finely sliced
• 2 tomatoes, chopped
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 2-3 green cardamom pods
• 3-4 cloves
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 cup water
• Fresh coriander leaves for garnishing

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:
   • Grind the garlic, ginger, dried red chilies, cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and black peppercorns into a fine paste.
   • Mix this spice paste with the vinegar, turmeric powder, and salt.
   • Marinate the mutton pieces in this mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
2. Cook the Curry:
   • Heat the oil in a large pan or pressure cooker.
   • Add the cinnamon stick, green cardamom pods, cloves, and bay leaf. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
   • Add the sliced onions and cook until they turn golden brown.
   • Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they are soft and the oil starts to separate.
   • Add the marinated mutton to the pan and cook on high heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently.
   • Add the sugar and mix well.
   • Add water, stir to combine, and bring it to a boil.
3. Simmer or Pressure Cook:
   • If using a pressure cooker, close the lid and cook on high heat until you hear the first whistle. Then reduce the heat and cook for another 15-20 minutes.
   • If using a regular pan, cover and simmer on low heat for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the mutton is tender and cooked through. Stir occasionally and add more water if needed.
4. Finish and Serve:
   • Once the mutton is cooked, check the seasoning and adjust the salt if necessary.
   • Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
   • Serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or any Indian bread of your choice.
