Mutton Dalcha – easy Hyderabadi Mutton Dalcha recipe

Mutton Dalcha Recipe with step by step instructions.తెలుగు వెర్షన్
mutton dalcha

I had never heard of Mutton Dalcha before as I was born and brought up from Andhra.even my mother did not know about this recipe. but once when I stepped into my Inlaws house I came to know about many Telangana recipes which I had never heard of and Mutton Dalcha was one of them. My husband has a huge family. and all the family members used to live in the very nearby places. so they used to gather at my inlaws house at least once in 2 months. my mother in law used to assign the cooking work to a local caterer because cooking food for nearly 35 members takes the whole day. my father in law used to keep an eye on the cook while he is making the dishes and I used to stand beside him and observe curiously.

on one get together, the cook was told to prepare Hyderabadi Mutton Biryani and mutton Dalcha. That was the first time I tasted the recipe. the moment I had it, felt like heaven. They made it in a different way. like, they first parboiled the meat with some whole garam masala spices and then added the meat to sambhar made with Chana Dal/split Bengal gram. I made some small changes(in the cooking process) to the recipe. but the taste was exactly the same. This Mutton Dalcha tastes good when served with Bagara Rice, Hyderabadi Biryani or Rotis. I hope you try and enjoy the recipe.
