Mutton Curry

This time my curiosity, is to find out why my first independent attempt on mutton curry was not that good as the mutton become hard. As usual my mum will be the advisor this time… Let’s have a look 

Preparation 1 :

Ingredients:

·         Ginger 1-2 inch

·         Garlic - 7 cloves

·          Lemongrass -1 (optional)

(This ingredients needs to finely grind)

·         2 Pandan Leaves

·         Water around 6 cups

Instructions :
Heat oil in a pan, add the Pandan leaves than add the paste and stir. Once it’s once fragrant add the mutton and water, Sauté till the mutton is browned well and cooked. (45-60 min), stir once a while. You will need to keep checking on the mutton as it cooks and adding more water if all the water dries up.  After cook keep a side.

Nah... I found the answer, my 1st attempt previously it's not enough water to cook the mutton... ;) 

Preparation 2:

Ingredients:

·         Onion - 2 large

·         Ginger - 1 inch

·         Garlic - 5 cloves

·         Tomato – 1

(This ingredients needs to grind to a smooth paste)

·         1 kg goat leg, cut into suitable size

·         Cinnamon (Kayu Manis) - 1

·         Cumin (Jintan) - ½ tsp

·         Star Anise (Bunga Lawang) – 2

·         Curry Leave

·         Onion sliced - 1 large

·         Potato 3-4 large

·         Tomatoes - 2 large, cut into preferred sized

·         Curry powder – 4 tbsp

·         Red chilli powder – 1 tbsp

·         Salt to taste

·         Water 3-4 cups, as the thickness you prefer

·         Oil

·         Evaporated milk (Susu Sejat) – 1 tbsp, Will give creamy taste

Instructions :

Heat the cooking oil in a heavy pan, when hot add the Cinnamon, Cumin and Star Anise. Than add curry leave and Onion, Saute till the onions begin to turn a pale golden brown color. Now add the smooth onion paste and Sauté for 2-3 minutes). Add the mutton (from preparation 1) and  water, potato. Than add all the spice powders,salt and mix well. ( prefer to add the spice powder after add water, it’s easy for me to estimate the curry’s thickness). Cook till the mutton is tender,  keep checking on the mutton as it cooks and Stir often to prevent burning. As i like bit fresh tomato taste, i am prefer to insert few minutes before cooked....  And it’s done .... :))))))))       yummyyy......
