Pahadi Mutton Curry - A recipe from the land of snow-clad mountains!



Pahadi Mutton Curry sounds as good as it tastes. This recipe is very close to my heart. I got this recipe from my trekking guide from Himachal Pradesh. On the last day of our trekking (in June 2019), our trekking guide Budhi Singh made this amazing dish for the group. This simple mutton curry literally saved us from the bone chilling cold. You can try this recipe with kathal (raw jackfruit) as well. It taste heavenly. So here is the recipe with ingredients available in your kitchen -

Pahadi Mutton Curry

Mutton                  - 500 gms
Onion                    - 300 gms (finely chopped)

  1. Wash and clean the mutton. Cut it into small pieces and transfer the meat to a strainer for removing excess water.

  6. After frying for 8-10 mins, add 1 cup water and put on the pressure cooker lid.
  7. Cook the mutton on low flame till 2-3 whistles (almost 10 mins). Turn off the flame.
