Mutton Curry: Indian-style Goat Curry

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

Mutton Curry is something I always, always have to order when we eat out at an Indian restaurant. It’s my absolute favourite curry dish and something I don’t normally cook at home, simply because it can take quite a while to soften the meat so that it just melts in your mouth.

I have a love-hate relationship with my pressure cooker. While most Indian home cooks swear by it to dish out family dinners every night, I often shy away from mine. I haven’t much gotten the hang of using one for cooking everyday Indian food. The problem for me is trying to keep track and remember how much time or how many whistles is needed to cook a particular food. I either simmer the dish for too long and turn it to mush, or release the pressure too soon and have to start all over again to get it completely cooked through.


A couple of weeks ago, Hubby Dear was away on a 12-day business trip leaving me and Baby Dear at the mercy of each other. He left early Sunday morning and by the time Friday rolled around, I was ready to wave my white flag. We’d both had it with the week’s routine, missed our teammate terribly and were in a dire need of some strong comforting. As we dragged our feet into the house after I picked him up from school, something clicked. There’s nothing that a good home-cooked meal can’t cure, and I’d decided that Baby Dear and I were going to spend our Friday night with a good movie and some amazing homecooked Indian food.

I had just picked up some fresh cut mutton from the butcher’s earlier that day and figured it was as perfect a time as any to turn it into something lip-smacking. As I took a peek at the clock across my kitchen, it occurred to me that it just had to be the pressure cook way or else there was no way that I was going to get dinner on the table before Baby Dear would turn into Baby-Zilla out of hunger!

So I busted out the beast and got to work. When it came time to lock the lid and place the whistle on it, I said a little prayer and crossed my fingers. And whaddya know! 30 minutes later, we were laughing over the antics of those silly Minions and digging into our luscious and super delicious Mutton Curry.

You will need to use a pressure cooker for this recipe. I have used my electric pressure cooker which I highly recommend. 
This curry goes extremely well with a side of Jeera Pulao (Cumin Pilaf).
