A Perfect Recipe for Mutton Lovers
Malvani Sukha Mutton – the moment I read this recipe in one of the old recipe books that I found, I was sure it’ll be a winner. The blend of spices brings the dish a delightful flavour and you can serve the Malvani Sukha Mutton with Bhakri (flatbread made of Bajra or Jowari), Thecha (a very hot paste of garlic and dried red chillies) and raw onions. To balance the heat of this dish, I always serve this with Buttermilk and Varan (Dal made the Maharashtrian way)
Tips
Coconut oil makes this dish tastes better so I used coconut oil in this recipe. However, you can use any refined oil. The CKP Garam masala is simple to make. Click here to know how to make it.
Trivia
Malvan being a coastal area in Konkan, it has its own distinct way of cooking food. Malvani cuisine uses coconut liberally in various forms such as grated, dry grated, fried, coconut paste and coconut milk. Many masalas have dried red chilies and other spices like coriander seeds, peppercorns, cumin, cardamom, ginger, garlic, etc. Source: Wikipedia

Ingredients
- Mutton - 1 kg
- Turmeric Powder - 1/2 Tsp
- Asafoetida (Hing) 1 Tsp
- Ginger paste 1 Tbsp
- Garlic paste 1 Tbsp
- Onion chopped 4 medium sized
- Garam masala 1.5 Tsp
- Dry dessicated coconut 5 Tsp
- Dried whole red chillies 4-5 (depends on your taste. If you like it less hot, use only 2)
- Bay leaf 4
- Cinnamon stick 2 1"pieces
- Oil (preferably coconut oil) - 80ml or 8 Tbsp
- CKP Garam Masala 4-5 Tbsp
Method
Step 1
Grind together dry desiccated coconut and dried red chillies and keep it aside. Marinate the mutton for 45 minutes with Turmeric, Asafoetida, Salt, Ginger paste and Garlic paste.
Step 2
In a pressure pan, heat oil, add bay leaf, 1 cinnamon stick, chopped onions and fry till onions get translucent. Add the mutton and fry on high heat for about 10 minutes so that its juices get sealed.
Step 3
Add about a cup of water and let the mutton simmer on slow gas mark for about 10 minutes after the first whistle. After 10 minutes, let the pressure drop and open the pressure pan.
Step 4
Put the pressure pan back on the stove. By this time the mutton is about 50% done. Add the coconut dried red chilly powder and 4-5 Tsp of CKP garam masala, stir the contents, let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes. Add 20ml or so of warm water and close the lid of the pressure pan. Cook it on pressure for another 15 minutes after the first whistle.
Step 5
After the pressure drops, open the pan, let the remaining water evaporate, stir the contents carefully without breaking the mutton pieces. Add 1 Tsp of garam masala, Taste for red chilli and salt content and add more if required.
Step 6
Garnish the dish with coriander.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with hot Bhakri, Thecha, raw onions and a glass of buttermilk.

Made us fir a CKP party and it came out great at first attempt. Thank you.
Only variation was that it was still quite watery afterwards and so I removed the warm pieces and let the liquid simmer down. That did the final trick.

I made this and I followed your recipe except that I added fresh chilli paste instead of chilli paste and did not use pressure cooker. I left the mutton to marinate for 2hours.
It came out really good.
Thanks for sharing !!

can you use garam masala instead of ckp garam masala? would it change the taste too dramatically?
btw, i love your recipes! I’m at terrible cook but your recipes always come out so great 😀

CKP garam masala has a unique taste which is will be lacking in the dish if you use the regular garam masala. I am happy you find my recipes helpful in your cooking. and believe me, I too was a terrible cook when I started 🙂
