Oindrila's Mumma's Mutton Kosha with Raw Papaya
Ingredients
- 1 kg mutton
- 1/2 cup Mustard Oil
- 3 tablespoons ghee
- 1 tablespoon Chopped Onion
- 1.5 tablespoon Crispy fried brown onions Birista paste
- 1 tablespoon raw papaya paste
- 1.5 tablespoon garlic and ginger paste
- 2 tablespoons Coriander Power
- 2 tablespoon red chilli powder
- 2 tablespoon sour curd
- 1 teaspoon Cumin Powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pieces Bay leaves
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 3 small cardamoms
- Salt - to taste
Instructions
- Wash the mutton and marinate for at least half an hour with mustard oil, sour curd, raw papaya paste (this will help in cooking the mutton quickly and make it succulent), chopped onion, garlic, ginger, coriander powder, cumin powder, red chilli powder, black pepper and half spoon salt. Marinating enables various flavours to seep in the mutton, which is a tough and strongly flavoured meat.
- In a pan take 3 tablespoons ghee and add a pinch of sugar along with bay leaves, cinnamon stick and cardamoms. Stir it well as it will induce a nice rich aroma to the dish. A pinch of sugar in oil ensures the spices to blend well.
- Add the marinated mutton to this and cook well for 40-45 minutes (or till the mutton is cooked) on a low flame. Add salt to taste.
- The last step is to add the crispy fried onion (Birista) paste on top before serving.
