How to make Mutton Kulambu
- In a pressure cooker, add oil. Once hot, add mustard seeds, split urad dal, shallots, curry leaves, vadagam and sauté well.
- Once onion turned soft, add all the spice powders and mix well. Let it cook for 2 mins.
- Add ginger-garlic paste and mix well. Cook till raw smell goes off.
- Add cleaned mutton pieces and castor oil. Castor oil helps in cooking of mutton. Just a tsp of castor oil is good enough. Mix thoroughly.
- Add required salt and 1 cup of water. Pressure cook for 6 whistles in high heat.
- Let the pressure release naturally.
- Add the paste and 2 cups of water to the cooker. Check for salt.
- Pressure cook for 2 more whistles.
- Switch off the heat.
Notes
- Garnish with coriander leaves.
- Enjoy mutton Kulambu with hot idlies.
- Onion vadagam is a sun-dried seasoning ball used for added flavors. Onions with other spices are made into a ball and sun- dried for few days. It is usually prepared during summer and stored for the whole year. I will try to post the recipe for the same soon.
