Mutton Masala | Mutton Gravy

Mutton Masala | Mutton Gravy recipe with step by step pictures and instructions. Learn how to make delicious mutton masala. Mutton masala is semi gravy dish where mutton is cooked with onion tomato masala and spices. It goes well with rice, chapati, roti, idly and dosa. Cashews and coconut adds creamy and rich taste to the gravy. My hubby likes this dish a lot and we use it as side dish to roti/chapati too.
I learnt this recipe from my sister in law. When we visited her after marriage she made this for virundhu(feast) and I totally loved the taste. I got the recipe from her and made it many times. Still I would say she makes this dish even more tastier than me. You can saute onions, tomatoes in cooker and pressure cook them and later add the grounded coconut cashew paste. I usually cook the mutton separately since I will give that soup for my kids.
