Simple Mutton Curry ( Indian Style Lamb Curry )
Posting a very simple mutton curry today.
Marinate 1/2 kg (500 gms) of mutton (lamb) in 1 cup curd, 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste ,2 tsps coriander pwd, 1/4 tsp garam masala pwd, 1/4 tsp turmeric pwd, 1 tsp red chilli pwd, 1/2 tsp jeera pwd (cumin pwd) and salt for half an hour.
Heat 3 tbsp of oil in a cooking vessel and add whole garam masala [3 green cardamoms, 6 cloves, 1″ dalchini (cinnamon sticks)] and let them fry for 5 seconds. Now add 1 cup of sliced onions and 3 slit green chillis and fry till transparent. Add the mutton marinade and mix well. Let it cook in its own water on medium heat till oil separates.
Add 2 cups of water, cover and cook the mutton till soft on slow fire.
Add a pinch of nutmeg pwd (jaaji kaaya podi) before you turn off the heat. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and your mutton curry is ready to be served with hot rice or rotis.
This is a very simple and easy mutton curry that I often make. A typical Andhra style mutton curry with great flavor.

Sailu garu,
The curry was heavenly. Usually after coming from work, I go for snacks.. Today, the first thing I did was to turn on rice cooker to finish off the yesterday’s!!
Thanks alot!!
Your pictures always make me hungry, they’re always so appetizing!
I’ve not eaten mutton in years, don’t know how easy it is to get here in Switzerland but I will definately try. I think this curry sounds yummy!
This curry came out excellent! It was so easy to make… and it was my first time buying lamb, handling it (i.e., cleaning and cutting) and cooking it– so i was nervous. but all in all, it was delicious. Thanks Sailu Akka!

Your most welcome, Ashish. I’m glad everything turned out well..:):)
Great and easy to cook. Got a confidence to cook Lamb. Any Suggestions to lower spicyness? Thank you silu garu.
My husband and I love Indian food and I’ve been surfing the Net for a good mutton curry and stumbled upon your contribution. I first had to buy all the ingredients before making it last night. Well, we just loved it! The heat certainly gave the old sinuses a good work out so I’ll need to cut down on the chilli next time(!) but the flavours were absolutely divine. I live in ‘country Australia’ and caused a bit of amusement at the city Health Food shop when I asked for a 1″ piece of cinnamon stick - the smallest amount they’d ever sold! This curry is certainly going to be added to my ‘Special Recipes’ repertoire. Sincere thanks to you Sailu: I believe I’ve hit the mutton curry jackpot!
tried your recipe today- it was the highlight of my week. Simple yet delicious.
Another excellent recipe! Thank you, Sailaja!
I made it tonight, it’s delicious!
Fantastic recipe. I was wondering what to do with lamb and got your recipe. I have not used curd and reduced chillis as my little daughter is going to it.Thanks a lot.
