Okay I've been a bit hesitant to share this recipe because I don't cook as much as some of you do, so I'm a little shy. But I've made these quite a few times and it's always turned out well.
Essentially, it's a more health-conscious version of the kind of mutton curry/masala we normally see in South Indian eateries. The main difference here is the use of tomato paste instead of coconut milk or yoghurt.
- Fry chopped onions, ginger, garlic, and masala spices in oil over low heat to release the flavours
- Throw in mutton chunks to brown them slightly
- Add pre-soaked chickpeas (preferably for about 24 hours) with some of the soaking water
- Can add potato chunks if you like
- Add tomato paste (I normally use 1/3 to 1/2 of a small can of Gilda tomato paste)
- May have to add more water to make sure everything's covered up nicely
- Let it simmer (low heat) until chickpeas and mutton are soft
- Add salt to taste
It's one of those dishes that taste even better after being left alone overnight.
Enjoy your (relatively) healthy curry! Let me know if you have ways to improve this recipe (without adding yoghurt, coconut milk, or ghee).
There are actually a couple of Indian curries that are quite similar to what you posted so don't be shy to share.
And yes, they are delicious.
Lol thanks for the reassurance. I guess I'll only feel fully confident about this recipe when an Indian mom approves it.
