Steps

1To begin making the Mutton Ghee Roast Recipe we will first marinate the mutton.
2In a mixing bowl, combine the mutton, along with the yogurt, turmeric powder, salt and lemon juice.
3Mix well and massage the marinade onto the mutton pieces, set aside for a minimum of 30 minutes or even overnight.
4Heat a skillet on medium heat, to this add the dry red chillies, peppercorns, cloves, methi seeds, coriander seeds and cumin seeds.
5Dry roast for about 4-6 minutes, or until the aroma of the spices wafts in the air.
6Turn off the flame and allow the spices to cool down.
7Into the mixer jar, add the roasted spices, garlic cloves, and tamarind paste, grind into a smooth paste, using some water.
8Transfer the ghee roast masala into a bowl and set aside.
9Into a pressure cooker, add the marinated mutton with 1/4 cup of water and close the lid.
10Pressure cook for about 3-4 whistles, or till it is about 80% done.
11Turn off the flame and allow the pressure to release naturally.
12Once done, transfer the mutton to a bowl and set aside.
13Heat a kadai, on medium flame, to this add the ghee. Once the ghee is hot add the curry leaves.
14When the curry leaves splutter, add in the the freshly ground ghee roast masala, and cook until the ghee comes up to the surface. This will take about 4-6 minutes on medium heat.
15To this cooked ghee roast masala, add the pre cooked mutton along with 1/4 cup of the stock from the pressure cooker.
16We want our mutton ghee roast to be of a thick coating consistency, so do not add too much of the stock unless you are looking to make the the mutton ghee roast to be a gravy dish. Now add in the jaggery and adjust salt.
17Continue to cover and cook the Mutton Ghee Roast Masala for about 8-10 minutes on low heat. Turn off the flame once done. Check the salt and spices and adjust according to taste.
18Transfer the Mutton Ghee Roast Masala to a serving bowl and serve hot.
19Serve Mutton Ghee Roast Recipe along with Ghee Roast Dosa Recipe or Cucumber Neer Dosafor a hearty Sunday brunch.
