This Sindhi Mutton Fry is a delicious dish made with tender mutton, raw papaya paste, and aromatic spices.
Ingredients:
500 g mutton pieces
2 tbsp raw papaya paste
4–5 tbsp oil
2 medium onions, grated
1 tbsp ginger and garlic paste
1 cup yogurt
2 tomatoes, pureed
2 tsp chopped coriander leaves
1 tbsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp coriander seed powder
1 1/2 tbsp garam masala powder
2 green chillies
1 tsp red chilli powder

Salt, to taste
How to Make Sindhi Mutton Fry:
Prepare the mutton: Wash the mutton pieces thoroughly. Apply the raw papaya paste to the mutton and leave it to marinate for 30 minutes.
Prepare spices: Grind whole spices like cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and star anise into a fine powder for garam masala. (You can also use store-bought garam masala.)
Cook onions and paste: Heat oil in a large pan. Add the grated onions and sauté until golden. Then add ginger and garlic paste and cook until the raw smell disappears.
Fry the mutton: Add the marinated mutton to the pan and fry until the color changes slightly.
Add spices and yogurt: Mix the rest of the ingredients (yogurt, pureed tomatoes, cumin, coriander powder, red chilli, green chillies, and garam masala) in a bowl. Add this mixture to the mutton and fry until the oil separates and the mixture becomes dry.
Cook the mutton: Add 2 cups of warm water, cover the pan, and cook on low-medium heat until the mutton is tender and fully cooked.
Tips:
Marinating with raw papaya helps tenderize the mutton.
Adjust spices according to your taste.
Serve hot with roti, paratha, or steamed rice.
