Hi, this is Smita Deo. And welcome to 'Get Curried'.
Today, let's see how to make the famous dish from Hyderabad,
'The Mutton Tahari'.
So here I have 500 gms of Mutton.
I'm going to marinate this with a tsp of Salt.
A tbsp of Chilli Powder.
A tsp of Turmeric Powder.
A tsp of Garam Masala Powder.
A tsp of Garlic paste.
A tsp of Ginger paste.
And approximately 200 gms of Yogurt.
I prefer to marinate this for at least a few hours,
If not then at least 2 hours you should leave it aside to get marinated.
So, let's keep it aside for at least 2 hours right now.
So while the meat is getting marinated, let's proceed with the gravy for this.
I'm going to heat 3 tbsp of oil.
And 2 tbsp of Ghee.
The oil is hot, I'm going to add some whole spices to this.
2 Bay Leaves.
1 inch of Cinnamon.
4 Green Cardamoms.
3 to 4 Cloves.
A tsp of Black Cumin Seed, what we normally call the Shah Jeera.
And to this, I'm going to add 4 sliced Onions.
Let's add 1/2 a tsp of Salt to this,
So that the onions browns faster.
The onions have browned really well.
Let's add a tsp of Ginger paste.
A tsp of Garlic paste.
Saute this till the raw smell goes off.
And now, I'm going to add 3 medium tomatoes...
...that I've finely chopped.
And, we have to cook this till the tomatoes are nice and soft.
The tomatoes have cooked.
Let's quickly add our dry spices.
I'm going to add a tsp of Chilli Powder.
1/2 a tsp of Turmeric Powder.
Mix it well.
And to this, we're going to add the marinated meat.
Let me quickly get it.
I'm going to increase the flame to a high.
Add the marinated meat.
And I am going to sear the meat for at least 3 to 4 minutes.
What an amazing aroma!
I'm now going to reduce the flame to a medium-low.
And add a cup of water to this.
Mix it well.
And cover and cook this till the mutton is almost done.
We had kept the mutton to cook till it was almost done,
Let's check.
The meat is almost cooked.
Here, I have 500 gms of Basmati Rice,
Which I had soaked in water for almost 15 to 20 minutes,
And I have drained the water.
I'm going to add this to the mutton.
Now to cook the rice,
I am going to add a litre and 1/2 of water.
I'm just going to throw in some slit Green Chillies,
3 to 4 of them.
1/4 cup of finely chopped fresh Coriander Leaves.
1/4 cup of finely chopped Mint Leaves.
A tsp of Salt.
Stir this gently.
Drizzle a tbsp of Ghee.
Mix this well.
And cover it and cook till the rice is done.
I've kept the flame on a medium to low.
We had kept the rice to cook for almost 15 to 20 minutes.
And the rice is ready as well.
And our Tahari is also ready.
Let's garnish this beautiful Mutton Tahari,
With some freshly chopped coriander leaves and mint leaves.
And it's ready to be served.
Sometimes when you are tired of cooking an elaborate meal,
This one-pot meal is an ideal thing to cook.
