To begin making the Mutton Ghee Roast Recipe we will first marinate the mutton. 

To marinate the mutton

1

In a mixing bowl, combine the mutton, along with the yogurt, turmeric powder, salt and lemon juice. 

2

Mix well and massage the marinade onto the mutton pieces, set aside for a minimum of 30 minutes or even overnight.

To make the ghee roast masala 

1

Heat a skillet on medium heat, to this add the dry red chillies, peppercorns, cloves, methi seeds, coriander seeds and cumin seeds. 

2

Dry roast for about 4-6 minutes, or until the aroma of the spices wafts in the air. 

3

Turn off the flame and allow the spices to cool down. 

4

Into the mixer jar, add the roasted spices, garlic cloves, and tamarind paste, grind into a smooth paste, using some water. 

5

Transfer the ghee roast masala into a bowl and set aside. 

To make the Mutton Ghee Roast 

1

Into a pressure cooker, add the marinated mutton with 1/4 cup of water and close the lid. 

2

Pressure cook for about 3-4 whistles, or till it is about 80% done. 

3

Turn off the flame and allow the pressure to release naturally. 

4

Once done, transfer the mutton to a bowl and set aside. 

5

Heat a kadai, on medium flame, to this add the ghee. Once the ghee is hot add the curry leaves. 

6

When the curry leaves splutter, add in the the freshly ground ghee roast masala, and cook until the ghee comes up to the surface. This will take about 4-6 minutes on medium heat. 

7

To this cooked ghee roast masala, add the pre cooked mutton along with 1/4 cup of the stock from the pressure cooker. 

8

We want our mutton ghee roast to be of a thick coating consistency, so do not add too much of the stock unless you are looking to make the the mutton ghee roast to be a gravy dish. Now add in the jaggery and adjust salt. 

9

Continue to cover and cook the Mutton Ghee Roast Masala for about 8-10 minutes on low heat. Turn off the flame once done. Check the salt and spices and adjust according to taste.

Transfer the Mutton Ghee Roast Masala to a serving bowl and serve hot.
