“ Nothing is better than going home to family and eating good food”.

The Kaali mirch ghosht or black pepper mutton is one such comfort food that is loved and relished by family and friend alike.This is for the first time that I am sharing a mutton recipe with my blog reader and what better way to start than with a legendary family recipie like Kali mirch gosht. It is a very simple yet classic recipe of mutton  with curd and handful of regular spices. The pungency and goodness of freshly ground black pepper elevates the flavour of the mutton. It is indeed pepper that makes all the difference and gives this curry a distinct flavour. Kaali mirch gosht is enjoyed especially during winters as it not only adds heat to the dish but also warms the body.This fiery mutton curry is a culinary treat for all spice lovers. It pairs beautifully with paratha,roti and even plain rice.

Ingredients :

• Mutton : 750gms
• Onion :    5  –  (3 cut into rings  & 2 roughly sliced)

Wash mutton pieces well and keep it aside. Add oil in the cooker and put in the grated ginger.saute it for couple of seconds.

Put the mutton piece along with salt and onion into the pan.

 

Step 3:

Saute it till it changes its colour.

 

Step 4:

Cover the cooker with its lid and let it pressure cook for one whistle and then lower the flame for about 5 minutes. Kindly note that I have not added water into it as the mutton and onion will leave its own juice.

Take out the whistle and remove the lid. Now add  curd and turmeric and let it cook on low flame for about 5 minutes or until the curd mixes perfectly with the mutton.

 

Step 6:

Add the freshly crushed black pepper.

 

Step 7:

Give it all a good mix.

 

Step 8:

Cover the lid and let it cook for 10 minutes on a low flame.

 

Step 9:

Add the onion rings.

 

Step 10:

Let it cook on low flame until the mutton infuses all the aroma and flavour of the pepper.

 

Step 11:

Let the mutton cook in its own juice till the onion becomes soft and it reaches the desired consistency

 

Step 12:

Sprinkle a Tsp of desi ghee and the fiery Kali mirch ghosht is ready to be served

Tip:

One can vary the ratio of the pepper corn to suit your taste.
