As the name suggests, the main ingredient is pepper here! I have purposely named it this way. This is an easy recipe. And a healthy onee as it involves lot of pepper and a very little red chilly powder(If desired!).
Without much writing, there it goes.
All you need:
1. Mutton or lamb - chopped into 1 inch cubes - 1 lb
2. Pepper corns - 30
3. Garlic - 1 pod ( around 10 cloves)
4. Turmeric - 1 pinch
5. Red chilly powder - 1/4 tsp
6. Onion - 1/2 finely chopped
7. Shallots - 20
8. Tomato - 1/2 finely chopped
9. Lemon - 1/2 (juice extracted)
10. Whole garam masala - 2 bay leaf, 2 clove, 2 star anise, 2 inch cinnamon
11. Salt to taste
12. Oil for frying
13. Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
Pressure cook the mutton with water, and whole garam masala added to it; add a pinch of slat and turmeric. Cook it for 6 whistles.
The stock if remains in excesses can be slightly seasoned with fennel seeds and taken as soup, which i tend to do. Else, keep the stock as less as possible. Use it while cooking this recipe.
Cut shallots into half.Crush the garlic and pepper into a coarse paste.
Heat oil in a wok or a pan with a wide mouth. Add the whole garam masala, cumin seeds and allow it to splutter. Add garlic pepper paste, shallots and onion and fry them till they are soft. Add tomatoes and cook it for 5 minutes. Now add red chilly powder and a little of the stock. Let t cook for 2 minutes. Its time now to throw in the meat and salt. Allow it to cook until the stock evaporates leaving beside, just the right amount of gravy. Add the lemon juice and serve it. It will go well with dosa, chapathi and rice too.
