A simple Mutton Mince Curry

Since I am making it just now I thought I would write down the ingredients and process.

1 Kg Mutton Mince (Not Lamb please) - Washed and drained

3-4 Cloves

1 Bay leaf

3 tsp Garlic Paste

1 tsp Ginger Paste

1/2 inch Cinnamon Stick

4 Green Cardamoms

3 tsp Kashmiri Chilly Powder(Less Heat More Colour!!)

3/4 tsp Turmeric Powder

1 Medium sized Tomato

2 Medium Sized Potatoes

1 Medium sized Onion

1/2 Cup or more Oil (Depends upon your tolerance ..3/4th cup will be good)

Process:

1. Peel and Cut Potatoes into small cubes.

2. Heat the Oil in a P Cooker

3. Fry potatoes and when done keep aside for later use

4. In the same oil now put in the Bay Leaf, Cloves and Cardamoms.

5. Fry the onion until Golden Brown

5. Put in the Diced Tomato

6. Saute over medium heat and when tomato water dries up, put in the pastes.

8. Saute and when the oil leaves the masala(that mash in the cooker), throw in the Mince.

9. Now increase the heat and some amount of water would come out of the meat. Stir a few times so that the meat does not get stuck. It would when the water has completely dried up and that's the time you pour in hot water...the level about 1/2 inch above the mince!! This is the time when you add in Salt!!

10. Put on the lid and the weight and leave it on full heat.

11. On the first whistle lower the heat and cook for 4-5 minutes max.

11. Open the cooker(for opening - pour cold water on the cooker for the steam inside to relax , alternatively place the cooker under a running tap and then take off the lid)

12. Put in the forgotten fried potato cubes and stir it in. On popular demand I have put some peas also. (Microwaved the frozen peas at 450W for about 5 minutes with little water and salt). Increase the heat and let the thing boil for a minute and no more!!!

That’s it. 30 minutes of my time in the Kitchen for a reasonable dinner!!! In the meantime Rice would have got cooked and would have heated some left-overs!!
