Instructions
Preparation:
- Wash the mutton pieces thoroughly with lots of water.
- In a pressure cooker, take the mutton with two cups of water, a little salt and turmeric powder.
- Cook for five full whistles on high heat.
- Let the pressure settle and keep ready.
- DO NOT DISCARD the broth(cooked water) as we are going to add this in the gravy.
- If you don't use readymade coconut milk use 2 tbsp of ground coconut paste or cashews paste.
How to make coconut milk:
- For making coconut milk, grind fresh coconut pieces with some water to a smooth paste.
- Take the coconut paste in a thin, wet cotton cloth and squeeze out the milk in a bowl. You can add a tsp of water and squeeze again to extract thin coconut milk.
Recipe:
- Heat oil in a pan, fry cinnamon, fennel seeds and cumin seeds.
- Add fine chopped or crushed onions (pulse raw onion in a mixer) and fry until golden brown color.
- Add ginger-garlic paste and saute well to remove the raw smell of garlic.
- Put one slit green chilli and curry leaves.
- Add tomato and cook them till soft and mushy.
- Put the spice powders, turmeric, chilli and coriander powder.
- Cook the masala powders by adding some water.
- Now add the mutton pieces along with the broth(mutton cooked water).
- Add required salt, cover with a lid and cook the gravy for five minutes so that the masalas combine well with the mutton.
- Finally, add the coconut milk or ground coconut paste or cashew nuts paste and mix well.
- Now add freshly ground black pepper powder. As we use pepper as the main spice here add as per your requirement.
- Cook for two mins, garnish with coriander leaves and switch off.
- Serve with hot rice or idli or dosa.

Notes
Tips:
1) Fresh pepper powder gives a good tasty mutton pepper gravy. Instead of adding coconut milk and pepper powder separately, you can make a paste of coconut and whole peppercorns and add it to the gravy.
2) As we use pepper as the main spice in this milagu kulambu, add less chilli powder just for color and one green chilli just for flavor.
