Ingredients of Railway Mutton Curry
1 kilograms mutton
2 tablespoon garlic paste
2 chopped tomato
2 teaspoon green cardamom
3 clove as required
2 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon powdered red chilli
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1/2 cup ghee
1 green chilli
3 medium potato
250 gm onion
2 tablespoon ginger paste
1 inches cinnamon
1 black cardamom
2 bay leaf
3 teaspoon coriander powder
1 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup mustard oil

How to make Railway Mutton Curry
Step 1 Heat a pan
Take a large pan and add mustard oil and ghee. When it is hot enough, add cinnamon, cardamom, bay leaves, cloves and cook for 2 minutes. Now add the onion, salt and turmeric powder and cook on high flame till pink.
Step 2 Cook the mutton pieces
Add the mutton pieces. Toss and lower the flame and cover the lid. Cook for 10-12 minutes. Now add the tomatoes, potato, ginger garlic and green chilli (this is completely optional, as originally it was not added) and toss well. Cover and cook on low flame for another 15 minutes. Keep stirring every 5-minutes. The mutton along with onion and tomatoes will release enough water and you'll be cooking the meat in this very water. It adds to the taste.
Step 3 Cover the lid and cook the meat
Now add the powdered spices and mix well. You can add a pinch of sugar which is optional. It is believed to give a nice colour to the meat. By now your mutton should have been cooked more than half. At this point if you find the water to be too little, add a cup of it, mix well and cook on low flame for another 15-minutes. Keep checking as you would not want the mutton to be overcooked. Now remove the lid and cook on high flame till oil starts separating. Add garam masala powder and 3 cups water and cook for 5- minutes on high flame, stirring continuously.
Step 4 Railway Mutton curry is ready to relish!
Switch off the flame and your mutton is ready. Serve it with steamed rice or chapati and onion salad.
Tips
Originally the Railway Mutton during the British Raj times was low on spices, but over time it got adapted to the Indian palate
You can skip adding red chilli powder and green chilli if you do not want it too spicy. Originally they were not added.
You can pressure cook the mutton for two whistles if you find it too tough.
You can add a dollop of warm ghee at the end to enhance the taste.
