Mutton curry (Sri Lanka style)


Ingredients

Select a piece of mutton with or without bones.


Cut and wash mutton into small cubes - leave a few pieces of fat aside


Curry leaves - a handful

Pandan leave - a few sprigs

Lemon grass - a stalk crushed


Cinnamon 4 pieces

Cardamom 4

Cloves 4


Garlic pip 4 - crushed

Ginger a piece - cut fine

Green chillies - 2 chopped fine

Onion large 1 - chopped

Tomatoes 2 - chopped fine

Chilli powder - ¼ tsp ( put more if you want it spicier)

Roasted curry powder - 1 ½ tablespoons

Pepper powder - ¼ tsp

Chilli pieces - ¼ tsp

Salt - 2 tsp

Turmeric - ¼ tsp

Tamarind paste - 1 tsp


Method

Mix all together with the mutton and marinate for about an hour. The longer the better. In a pan put a piece of Mutton fat and little bit of vegetable oil and the mutton fat will put out some more oil. Turn in the mutton mixture and keep stirring for sometime. Then add around 2 cups of cold water and cover and cook on high. After some time when boiling lower the heat to 1 or 3 setting on the cooker and leave till the gravy has simmered. Again increase the heat to full and lower the temperature again. You could keep a bit of gravy or you can dry it out by really simmering it. ( this will be a dry curry)
