Mutton masala – Dum ka mutton

I like to cook different recipes with mutton whenever I get it. I try different recipes with them. Mutton biryani, haleem and fry is my favourite of all. Dum ka mutton, I had it in a Hyderabadi restaurant along with Rice, khatti dal it was so tasty. I loved the combo. So I started trying it in my home after watching several videos on YouTube. However, I adapted it in my own and simple way but the result was so tasty at the first time itself and it tasted similar to the dish I had it in the restaurant. Usually, in most dum ka mutton recipes, they cook the marinated mutton directly in a pan. As the mutton takes more time to cook, I always pressure cook the mutton until they are like 90% cooked and add it to the pan.

Yesterday I cooked this recipe along with Rice and khatti dal. It also tastes well with pulao, Roti, chapati and Naan.

Lets see how to cook it.
