Mutton Peralan / Mutton in dry gravy


Mutton peralan is a dry side dish. Peralan is a famous Kerala preparation, which can be made easily without any hard work.  This is best served hot with practically everything including rice, appam, puttu, idiappam etc. It stays fresh forever and seems to get tastier as you heat it each time.


Ingredients:
  1. Mutton- ½ kg
  2. Onions (sliced)- 2nos
  3. Green chillies (slitted)- 4nos
  4. Ginger paste- 1tbsp
  5. Garlic paste- 1tbsp
  6. Curry leaves- few
  7. Red chilli powder- 2tsp
  8. Coriander powder- 1tsp
  9. Turmeric powder- ½ tsp
  10. Garam masala powder- 1tsp
  11. Salt- as per taste
  12. Oil- 2tbsp
  13. Water- ½ cup
Method:
  1. Pour oil in pressure cooker and saute onions, green chillies, curry leaves, ginger and garlic paste well.
  2. Add the red chilli powder, coriander powder and turmeric powder. Mix well in between otherwise the powders will stick to the bottom of the cooker.
  3. Add the cleaned and washed mutton pieces and salt. Stir fry for few minutes.
  4. Add water and close the cooker and pressure cook the mutton till done. Remove from fire.
  5. When it is cooled open the cooker and add the garam masala powder  and saute well till no water is left and till the gravy becomes dry.
  6. Transfer to a serving dish.

Crispy braised Iberico pork collar Recipe

Image
It is not cheap, but if you come across it don't hesitate and buy an   Iberico  pork  collar  (aka boneless neck, Cabecero). Mine was 1800 g. It is a well marbled, exquisitely flavorful cut that can be roasted, braised, or sliced into steaks for quick searing. ... While  iberico  is best known for the famous slow-aged hams, the other cuts are succulent, moist & delicious. I made pulled pork from one half. Today I made this from the other half. First I peeled, halved and then sliced 800 g of onions and sweated them in 40 g of butter, turned the heat up a bit and softly fried them for about 40 mins, nicely caramelised and brown. Took out the onions and added some more butter in the pan to sear the meat. Then turned the heat down again and added  sea salt, black pepper, 3 tbsp  Worcestershire  and 6 finely hacked cloves of garlic , 1.2 liter of beef stock , the reserved onions and 2 leaves of laurel . Put the lid on and let it simmer for 3 hours. Then I took out the oni

Pani Puri with Homemade Puris

Image
P ani Puri is one of my favorite chaats from childhood. Whenever we go out, we used to thoroughly enjoy the chaat from the roadside street vendors. In every nook and corner, you can see a pani puri stall. We used to have competition, as who will have more puris. Every Indian like pani puri to the core. It is said that this not only satisfies your taste buds but also keeps the kid in you alive. Once during fasting time, in Bangalore, after breaking the fast I had 30- 35 pani puris without eating anything. I like to have them anytime of the day. After coming to the US it has become very rare to find pani puri. We will get the pani puri kit in all the Indian stores. I started making it from scratch as we don’t find the puris most of the time in stores. My daughter loves it a lot. She won’t eat anything else if pani puri is there for snacks. Pani puris have different names like the puchkas, gol gappas and so on. Pani means water and puri are the fried puffed dough balls. Yesterday was my s
