Peas and Mutton Curry Masala Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 500g mutton, washed and cut into pieces
• 1 cup green peas, fresh or frozen
• 2 large onions, finely chopped
• 3 tomatoes, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup cooking oil
• 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt
• 1/2 cup fresh coriander leaves, chopped (for garnish)
• Salt to taste

For the Masala Paste:

• 2 teaspoons coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
• 4-5 green chilies, chopped
• 1-inch ginger, chopped
• 4-5 garlic cloves

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Masala Paste:
   • In a blender, combine coriander powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, green chilies, ginger, and garlic. Blend into a smooth paste by adding a little water if needed.
2. Marinate the Mutton:
   • In a bowl, mix the mutton pieces with half of the masala paste and yogurt. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Cooking the Curry:
   • Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
   • Add the remaining masala paste and ginger-garlic paste. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the raw aroma disappears.
   • Add chopped tomatoes and cook until the oil separates from the masala.
   • Add marinated mutton and cook until it is browned on all sides.
   • Pour in enough water to cover the mutton, cover the pot, and simmer until the mutton is tender (this may take about 1-1.5 hours, depending on the meat).
4. Add Peas:
   • Once the mutton is almost tender, add green peas to the curry. Cook until the peas are cooked and the mutton is tender.
5. Garnish and Serve:
   • Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
   • Adjust salt and spice levels according to taste.
6. Serve:
   • Serve the peas and mutton curry masala hot with steamed rice or Indian bread of your choice.
