Tribal style Pot Mutton Curry -Kunda Mamsam

INGREDIENTS

Mutton ½ kg

Turmeric- 1tsp

Onions- 2 chopped

Garlic – 10 cloves

Green chillies-6 (You can use more as we do not use chilly powder)

Oil- ½ cup

Salt to taste

Coriander- 1 bunch

METHOD:

Now grind all the above mentioned ingredients except oil…. coarsely.

Wash mutton and marinate the mutton with the ground masala and keep aside for 20-30 minutes

Take an earthen pot. Put it on the gas. Add the marinated mutton in the pot and add ½ cup oil. Let it cook on medium flame for 5-10 minutes. Take a banana leaf and heat it slowly on the flame, so that it can be folded easily. Add half a glass of water and cover the pot with the banana leaf and tie it with a thread. Cook for about 30 -45 minutes or till the meat is tender.

Your traditional pot mutton curry is ready.

(I added 1tsp poppy seeds soaked in warm water for 10 minutes

1tsp of coconut powder, so that we can get smooth and thick gravy and also a good texture. After you remove the banana leaf add this ground paste of poppy seeds and coconut and cook for 5-10 minutes.
