Green Pepper Mutton Masala

Whenever we buy mutton I always cook it with roasted coconut gravy. I hesitate to try out any new recipes with mutton. This week decided to try out mutton masala. The outcome was delicious

Ingredients:

1. Mutton 1.5 kg
2. Shallots 1/2 cup
3. Ginger 1'' piece crushed
4. Garlic 6 pieces crushed
5. Tomato, chopped (optional) 1 small
6. Turmeric powder 1.5 Tsp
7. Red chili powder 1tsp
8. Green pepper  1 strands
9. Green Chillies 4
10. Curry leaves 1 strands
11.Garam masala powder 1 tsp
12. Salt

For Marinade:
1) Shallotes 1/4 cup
2) Ginger 1/2'' piece crushed
3) Green Chillies 3
4) Garlic pods crushed 4
5) Green pepper crushed 1 strand
6) Curry leaves 1 strand
7) Garam masala powder 1 tsp

Method:
Clean mutton pieces well.
Marinade them with 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, salt & keep aside as soon as you have finished cleaning.
Grind together the ingredients under marinade and marinade the mutton pieces well with it.
Keep aside for 1/2 an hour.
Cook well adding required water.
If mutton is cooked right, transfer the gravy to another vessel and boil  it until it thickens to form the Masala.
If mutton is not cooked enough, you can boil the excess gravy along with mutton in the same Vessel.
In another pan saute shallots. When they strat turning pale add garlic ginger, gree chillies, curry leaves, green pepper.
Saute very well and in low flame until they form a nice masala mixture.
Now add the rest of the ingredients one by one.
Once raw smell is gone, add the cooked mutton to the masala and saute well.
Simmer for 5 minutes & switch off.
