Google mutton curry and you’ll get all kinds of Andhra, Hyderabadi and Kerala variations. But this ones quite basic guys. It’s one of those back pocket mutton curry recipes that we all need in life. And that’ll make everyone in the house go totally nuts. They’ll never guess how easy it is. I promise.
It’s basic but amazing. Spicy, flavourful, warming with all the right reasons to be a glutton on Sunday which is when mutton curry makes the most sense. Because after a bowl of this Indian mutton curry and rice, all you’ll want to do is Netflix and nap.
We first made this recipe for a couple of friends. Actually Denver did. I was out on a Sunday afternoon, and Denver decided to make lunch. The most amount of work went into chopping the onions and tomatoes, which we had our food processor for, so basically it was a stir and cook game. Which he is awesome at.
We all came home hungry to the house smelling fantastic, made some parathas and rice and dug in!

I knew right there that I needed to share this on the blog because you guys will love it! So we’ve made it again and again, and every time we ended up polishing it before I could take any pictures. But we are finally here with the best, easiest Indian mutton curry for all you comfort food seekers and curry lovers. Sunday lunches can’t get better than this. I highly recommend using a ‘meat masala’ which really takes the guesswork out of this, and I used Lala’s masala for this one. You can go ahead and try Shaan as well, a brand which make fantastic masalas.

DESCRIPTION
This easy Indian mutton curry will soon become your favorite bowl of comfort food. Made in a pressure cooker and perfect with basmati rice.
INGREDIENTS
3 tablespoons Oil
1 Bayleaf
1 Cinnamon Stick ((one inch))
3-4 Cardamom Pods
3-4 Cloves
1 green chilli (slit lengthwise)
3 large Onions (finely chopped)
1 tablespoon Ginger Garlic Paste
4 large Tomatoes (finely chopped)
1 teaspoon Coriander Powder
2 tablespoons Lala’s Mutton Masala ((or meat/curry powder of your choice))
500-600 grams Mutton or Lamb (cut into medium sized pieces)
2 Potatoes (quartered)
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 tablespoon kasuri methi ((optional))
1 tablespoon ghee (or Butter)
Salt to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat oil in a pressure cooker (electric or stovetop) and saute bay leaf, cinnamon, cardamom and cloves for a minute. Add green chili, onions and ginger garlic paste. Cook this for 7-8 minutes till the onions are translucent.
Add tomatoes, coriander powder, mutton masala (or meat masala) and salt and cook for 5 minutes till the tomatoes break down slightly. Add mutton, potatoes and a cup of water and put the lid on. If using a stovetop pressure cooker, cook on high pressure for 30-40 minutes (5-6 whistles). If using an electric pressure cooker or an instant pot, cook for 45 minutes and let pressure release naturally.
Once the pressure is released, open the lid and switch on the flame again. Add a little water if the gravy is too thick. Stir in garam masala, kasuri methi (if using) and ghee and simmer for another 4-5 minutes. Let the curry rest for 15 minutes before serving.
