Mutton Pepper Fry Kerala Style

 

This dish is easy to make but be forewarned it should be made very spicy!

 

Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb of  meatless grounds
  • 2T whole cumin, dry roasted and freshly ground
  • 1t chili powder
  • 1t turmeric
  • 3 cloves
  • 3 cardamom pods whole
  • 1in cinnamon stick
  • 2T whole black pepper
  • 1/4 onion, sliced
  • 2T garlic, minced
  • 8-10 curry leaves
  • 2 medium tomatoes

Method

In 2C of water add the ground cumin, chili powder, turmeric, 1t salt and the meat pieces. Cover and boil for about 10 minutes and then uncovered till most of the water has evaporated. Meanwhile, saute the onions till they are almost crispy. Simultaneously (yes, I know now you have three things on the stove!) dry roast the rest of the whole spices, grind and add them to the onions along with the garlic and curry leaves. Add the boiled meat and stir in the tomatoes. Wait till about half the tomatoes have melted away- about 6-7 minutes.

Serve with whole wheat naan.

 

NOTE: I find boiling meat and dry roasted spices very weird because when making Indian dishes, I almost always dump the spices in oil to temper, but this one is an exception.

MUNNI TRIVEDI

My condition was progressively deteriorating over the past 2 years. I’d been good at taking my medicine and exercising so knew I should have felt better. My arthritis and scleroderma were really affecting my quality of life. Increasing pain and fatigue were wearing me down.

Dr. Jenny and Ajoy came well-recommended so I got in touch. I completed a short questionnaire before my consultation. Covid meant it was all done over VC. They put me at ease, and it was like we were in the same room. They asked all the right medical and lifestyle questions without judgement. They devised a plan which was holistic, realistic and easy to follow. Their gentle and knowledgeable coaching kept me on track.

The resulting decrease in swelling and pain has given me a new lease of life in a few weeks. I feel so much better and look so much happier. I felt they were genuinely interested in my well-being. Happy to highly recommend them.
