Instructions

Spice Powder

  • Dry roast all the ingredients listed under spice powder.
  • Cool and grind to fine powder.

Laal Maas

  • In a pressure cooker heat oil. When oil is smoky hot, reduce the flame.
  • Add red chilies, cloves, green & black cardamon, bay leaves, cinnamon and peppercorns and let them roast in oil.
  • Add ginger garlic and fry for few seconds.
  • Add onion and saute until light golden in color.
  • Add goat meat and fry on high flame for 3-4 minutes, stirring in between until spices coat the meat and well fried.
  • Add spice powder, chili powder, kashmiri chili powder and fry for few more minutes.
  • Lower the flame, add whisked yogurt and stir until it coats the meat and blends well into the spices.
  • Once the gravy begins to boil, add water, salt and cook till meat is tender. I pressure cooked for 6 whistles and 4 minutes on low. Let the pressure release naturally.
  • Open the pan, check if the meat is cooked. If not, cook until meat is tender.
  • Add lime juice and simmer for couple of minutes.
  • Serve hot with roti or poori.

Notes

  • I added 4 tsp. of lime juice and I found it just fine. Husband thought it was too sour. Adjust lime juice to taste.
  • Chili powder is my addition more heat. Kashmiri chili powder is not very hot and for more heat, I added chili powder.
  • I used mustard oil but if one does not mind indulging, ghee can also be used. Mustard oil can also be substituted with any cooking oil.
