Mutton kaju masala is a tasty restaurant style curry with rich gravy. the taste of the recipe depends on the Masala curry that we use to prepare. i have used coriander seeds,cloves,cardamoms,cinnamon,desiccated coconut,poppy seeds and cashew nuts.i have added 1 and 1/2 tbsp of red chilli powder as we like eating spicy.but you can add it according to you taste.few people like to add the masala at the beginning.but it’s better to add after the meat is 80 percent done rather than adding while it is raw.
This is for the first time i have prepared this recipe and it turned out fantastic.the video version below is the first version of this recipe.when i prepared it for the second time i thought to add few more ingredients to the masala. i have added 1/4 tsp of fennel seeds,1/4 tsp of black pepper corns,1/4 tsp of cumin seeds while preparing the masala paste and finally the taste was outstanding.
This curry goes well with biryani rice,pulao,rotis and naans.it’s my husband favorite mutton recipe now.don’t know how many days it remains his favorite! 😛 😉 . Try this recipe at your kitchen and let me know your valuable feedbacks….. 🙂
