Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp rice
  • 25-30 almonds
  • ½ cup ghee
  • 6 cloves
  • 2-3 medium-sized onions sliced
  • 1.5 tbsp ginger paste
  • 500 g mutton curry cut and washed
  • ½ cup yoghurt/dahi sour
  • 4 cups water
  • Salt to taste
  • 1- inch cinnamon stick
  • 6 green cardamom
  • 25-30 black peppercorns

Method
 

  1. Soak rice and almonds in separate bowls of water for 1 hour. Drain and grind them into a fine paste using a blender or food processor. Set aside.
  2. Heat ghee in a pressure cooker over medium flame. Add cloves and cook until fragrant.
  3. Add sliced onions and cook until they're golden brown, stirring occasionally. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Next, add ginger paste and cook for another minute, stirring constantly, until the raw smell goes away.
  5. Add mutton and cook until it's light brown in color, stirring occasionally. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Add yoghurt/dahi and cook until the oil separates, stirring occasionally. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Pour in water, give it a stir, and add salt. Mix well.
  8. Secure the lid and pressure cook until the mutton is tender, about 5-6 whistles.
  9. Bring the curry to a boil, then add the rice-almond paste. Mix well, and the curry will thicken. Turn the flame off.
  10. Grind cinnamon stick, green cardamom, and black peppercorns into a fine powder using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle.
  11. Add the ground spice powder, and mix well.
  12. Enjoy this delicious Jahangiri mutton curry with paratha or rice
