YAKHNI - Spiced Yoghurt Curry

From Your Pantry:

1 pack of Yakhni Curry Mix

500g of Mutton (from chest with fat, shoulder)

4 tbsp (60ml) Oil (ideally, mustard seed oil)

8 tbsp (120g) Plain Yoghurt (whisked to a smooth paste)

2 cups (480ml) Water (use warm water)

Cooking Instructions:

In a bowl, add the curry mix and whisked yoghurt to make a thick smooth paste. Add in the meat pieces, mix and massage the paste over it to cover evenly. Leave to marinate for 30-60min. *You can skip the marination if you don’t have time. Heat up the oil in a deep pan. Add the coated meat to the pan along with the water and mix. Cover with a lid and cook on low-medium heat for 50 minutes or until the meat becomes tender.

*Quick Fix: Reduce cooking time using a pressure cooker, cook for one whistle and keep on low heat for 5-7 minutes.

Check if you need additional salt according to your taste. The consistency should be that of a slightly thick curry. Adjust the water to get desired consistency. Serve hot with rice.

*Also Try: Cooking with chicken or meatballs.
