Mutton Masala

Description

Both the robust Indian dish made with mutton (goat or lamb meat) and the potent spice mixture used to make it are referred to as mutton masala. Strong spices like cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, cumin, coriander, and red chilies are typically included in the blend. During the cooking process, the masala is used to balance and soften the mutton’s more robust flavor and texture. The meat is slow-cooked in a flavorful gravy made with onions, tomatoes, ginger, and garlic, just like in other meat curries. In many regions of South Asia, the resulting meal is a favorite main course and is renowned for its rich, complex flavors.
