A "perfect weekend" generally refers to times where we can fully relax, engage in activities we enjoy, spend quality time with loved ones, and feel refreshed and recharged before going back to our regular routine. It may include quality sleep, outdoor activities or spending quality time with family and friends. This weekend was sort of a perfect one, where I ended up cooking something, which I never did before. However the end result was very satisfactorily. It was testing time when I was asked to cook Mutton.
I am an average cook when it cones for a vegetarian disges. I never tried non veg dishes. But when the ball was thrown in my court, I tried my best to fare well. Life is all about giving our best, no matter what will be the outcome. That use to be my motto, and I pitched into the kitchen with same attitude. There is 2KG of fresh mutton. I washed them properly with luke warm water, before proceeding with the cooking.
Honestly, I never cooking Mutton before this. But I saw my Dad making some delicious Mutton. I have some faded memory of his cooking style, which I utilised. A learning never goes of style. After washing the Mutton and kept in a utensils I added few ingredient.
- Onion 750 Gm, cut into big size.
- Mustard Oil, 50Ml
- Turmeric powder, 2 Tablespoon
- Coriander powder, 2 Tablespoon
- Red Chilli powder, 1 Tablespoon
- Salt to taste, 1 and 1/2 tablespoon
I mixed all these items properly with the Mutton. I made use of pressure cooker and put all the items into it after mixing.

Due to the increased pressure, food cooks significantly faster. The high pressure helps break down connective tissue in meat, making it more tender. We allow our mutton to boil upto 3 whistle. It took approx 15 munutes in high flame. I have not added any water for boiling mutton, as on boiling the onion will disprese water, which allow the mutton to be tender. Now we left with frying outmr mutton. On a seperate cooking utensil, I have added 100 ML of mustar oil and put,
- 3 dried chili
- 2 bay leaf
- a pinch of Hing (asafotida)
- 250 gm of chopped onion.
Once these items turn vrownish, we will add the boiled button to it. Make sure not to add the leftover water in the cooker. Only the mutton pieces were needed to be fried first. We will cook them for another 15 minutes.
We will add, Mutton masala, that is available in the market and further add, some Garam masala. In between frying the mutton. This is the most important part of mutton recipe, the more you cook the better it become. But make sure that I'd didn't get roasted too much. Once, the frying is done properly, we will add the left over water from the cooker into and let it to boil for another 15 minutes.
Our delicious recipe is ready to be served. I could not manage to collect all the pictures, as I was too busy with the cooking. My friendd in between all these picture. But the steps involved were actually, how my Dad used to cook them.
At the end the mutton was very delicious and it didn't took long to finish. 2Kg for 3 individuals is enough and it ended on a happy note.
Peace!!

Delicious spices and such a delightful color! The stew looks incredibly appetizing 💯 Looks like you've positively contributed to that “perfect weekend” ❤️
Hope you're having a great start to the year!
The aroma in the begining and then the colour was quite tempting. Seems you are hard-core mutton lover. The colour does define the taste of the mutton....fond of Indian spicy mutton.?
Here lamb is expensive and scarce, but at my parents' house we used to prepare it every couple of years, with curry and homemade coconut milk. Most of the time, this stew was made with goat meat (what in my father's village is known as goat tarkari). They use Garam masala. I daydream and feel the aroma. My father was a great cook when it came to typical dishes of his hometown; in [Güiria] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%BCiria), where my father is from, they have a significant influence of Indian, English, and French cuisine--which has changed over time, adjusted, but hasn't disappeared.
I'm fond of Indian food, spicy mutton included
This is one such goat meat cooked in the Indian kitchen. This is my Fad way of cooking, as he was find of it. Thank god he passed on his mutton magic to me....Indian spicy is terrific with tastes and aroma.
Wow, this is really a perfect weekend. How do you look like a pro?😍
I love weekends well the dish looks good, so much meat !!
