Masala Mutton Curry

Mutton and curry in one. Mutton of course, like I have already told you, the meat we Indians can't ditch aside for whatever matter (Mutton Parathal) and the curry story (Malaysian Indian Chicken Curry & Malaysian Indian Fish Curry). How do we cook this Masala Mutton Curry? Nothing complicated if you are asking me. Pretty much our pantry friendly ingredients and nothing you really need to run around looking for. Not any specific unknown ingredients on the whole. Blended/grounded ingredients mixed with plain chilli powder and turmeric powder for masala/curry paste and then, cooked step by step, alongside, spices, tomato, potato and mutton (Mutton Kurma & Mutton Dalca). The outcome? Get ready for a taste of mutton curry heaven.

Ingredients
I kg mutton (trim the fats and cut into small pieces)

Blend/ground:
1 medium size onion
1 inch ginger
10 garlic
1 tbsp coriander seeds
1/2 tbsp black pepper

Other ingredients:

1 tsp turmeric powder
Spices - 2 bay leaves, 3 cardamom, 3 cloves, 2 cinnamon and 1 star anise
2 potatoes - remove skin and cubed/cut into medium size pieces

Salt for taste

Method:
