Description
What is mutton masala?
Delicious, soft and tender chunks of mutton meat cooked in a spiced tomato onion based gravy. As the name suggests it has a thick gravy with lots of spices.
To make soft, tender and succulent mutton masala, you don't need to wait for long hours. Learn how to cook mutton in cooker easily in a short period of time to impress your family and friends.
Here in this recipe, I haven't used curd to marinate the mutton pieces. You can used it but use a low sour curd.
Using tomato and curd together might make the gravy more sour. So I prefer to use any one of them while making this recipe If you prefer to cook using slow cooking then it is better to use curd for the marination.

Serving tips
- Mutton masala is best to serve with roti, naan or paratha.
- My favorite is with a plate of steam rice and homemade chapati.
- You can cook the mutton masala in slow cooking but it will take more times to cook properly.
- I prefer to cook mutton in a pressure cooker as it gives perfectly cooked soft and juicy pieces.
- You can use curd in the marination as well but don't use a sour curd. As we are using tomato so the gravy may become more tangy.
- For me use any one either the curd or tomato.
