Andhra Mutton pepper fry

What you will need for Ruchi Anand’s mutton pepper fry:

Mutton (goat; can also use lamb, but its more ‘gamey’) – 1lb
Onions – 2
Tomato – 2
Ginger – Garlic paste – 1 tsp
Turmeric powder a pinch
Chilli powder – 1/2 tsp
Pepper powder – 2 tsp
Salt to taste
Curry leaves
Coriander leaves
Oil for cooking

Dry Roast the following:

Poppy seeds – 1 tsp
Fennel seeds 1/2 tsp
Pepper corns – 4
Coriander Seeds – 1 tsp
Cumin 1 tsp
Cinnamon – 1 small piece
Cloves – 2

And now:

Wash and pressure cook meat pieces in 2 cups of water, salt and turmeric. Drain the cooked meat from water and keep the water in a bowl.

Chop finely the onions and tomatoes

In a wok, dry roast all the spices. Once they cool down, grind into a fine powder

Heat the oil, add the curry leaves for a few minutes, followed by the onions. Sauté till the golden brown, then add the ginger garlic paste. Simmer nicely

Then add the tomatoes and meat and cook on high heat. Once the tomatoes are soft, add the ground spices and simmer for 5 mins

Add the water saved and bring to boil

Cook on high heat until the water evaporates and you have a nice, thick gravy

Fry the meat pieces until they release oil

Add the meat and the remaining pepper powder into the tomato gravy

Garnish with fresh coriander and serve with malabar parathas (next up on Amara Moms!!!)
