Ingredients:

1kg mutton meat, cut into 4cm pieces60ml lime juice
2½ tsp curry powder
½ tsp smoky paprika
1 tsp caster sugar
3 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced thin
Salt and black pepper
18 cardamom pods, lightly broken
½ red chilli, thinly sliced
10g ginger, peeled and finely chopped
 oil, for frying
600g charlotte potatoes, peeled and cut into 2cm dice
3 red peppers, deseeded and cut into 2cm pieces
6 spring onions, cut on an angle into 2cm slices

Reduce the heat to low, cover and leave the meat to simmer gently in its own juices for about three hours, until tender. Check occasionally that there is enough liquid in the pan: you will need to add water a few times, but make sure there is no more than 1cm of liquid. When the meat's been cooking for two hours, add the cardamom, chilli and ginger.

3.While the meat is cooking, pour oil into a large frying pan so it comes 0.5cm up the sides. Add the potatoes and fry for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown. Transfer to kitchen towel.

4.When the meat is done, remove from the pan with a slotted spoon, then skim as much fat as you can off the surface of the juices. Add the red peppers, remaining curry powder and a quarter-teaspoon of salt, and cook, stirring, on high heat for three minutes. Add the potato and spring onion, sauté for a minute, then return the meat to the pan. Add the remaining lime juice , heat up and serve at once

Mango Sweet And Sour Curry (kacha amer khatta)



Ingredients:

2 green mangoes, washed and coarsely diced
1 heaped teaspoon yellow mustard seeds 
1 teaspoon turmeric powder 
2 tablespoons mustard oil 
5-6 tablespoons sugar 
Salt 

Method:


Heat the mustard oil in a pan and add the mustard seeds and cover. Let them splutter till they turn dark, not black

Add the pieces of mango and its seeds too.

Move around the mango to coat them well with the mustard seeds and oil. Cook the mango on medium heat for 4-5 minutes. Add the turmeric powder and mix well. Leave the mango uncovered on low for a couple of minutes more. You will notice that the pieces of mango are looking softer and have already got a coat of color on them.

Add water, enough to completely cover all the mangoes. Cook on high for 3-4 minutes and add sugar and salt. Its important that you add the sugar after the water else the sugar will caramelize and will not dissolve in the water. 

It doesn’t take too long to cook the mangoes.  If the water cooks down, add a little more. Turn the heat off once the sugar dissolves and the mangoes are done.
