Fresh Mutton Rezala
Mutton rezala is a classic Indian dish that originated in the city of Kolkata, which is located in the eastern part of India. It is a creamy and flavorful dish that is made with mutton (goat meat) that is cooked in a rich and aromatic gravy.
To make mutton rezala, the meat is first marinated in a mixture of yogurt and spices, which may include ginger, garlic, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala. The marinated meat is then cooked until tender and set aside.
In a separate pot, a mixture of spices and herbs such as cinnamon, cardamom, bay leaves, and cloves is fried in oil or ghee to release their flavors. The cooked meat is then added to the pot along with a creamy gravy made with yogurt, cashews, and poppy seeds. The mixture is simmered until the meat is fully infused with the flavors of the spices and the gravy is thick and creamy.
Mutton rezala is typically served hot with rice or naan, which is a type of Indian flatbread. It is a rich and indulgent dish that is perfect for special occasions and gatherings. The dish is known for its creamy and flavorful gravy, which is a result of the careful blending of spices and ingredients.
