Ginger mutton


Ginger is a root which is used round the world for its medicinal value and culinary purposes. Ginger flavoured meat!!! Huh, can't imagine any other flavours.... This ginger aids digestion, and is anti-inflammatory and anti bacterial in nature. Ginger tea is proved to be very beneficial after food. Goat meat, and ginger goes really well...I usually try out new recipes with this same combination. Here is one....

Ingredients:
Mutton - 1 kilo
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Ginger (large 2" root) - 1 nos
Chilly powder - 1 tsp
Pepper powder - 1 tbsp
Garam masala - 1 tsp
Soya sauce - 1 tbsp
Meat stock cube - 1 nos
Green chillies - 2 nos
Oil - 4 tbsp
Salt for taste

Method:
Pressure cook the meat with just enough water to cover it, along with salt and turmeric powder. Once its done, drain the stock into another clean vessel and keep aside. In a wok, heat oil, add the meat along with chilly powder, finely sliced fresh ginger and stir fry for a min. Mix the meat stock cube along with the drained stock and pour it into the wok. Add garam masala powder, pepper powder, and stir fry till water evaporates. Now add the soya sauce, green chillies (slit lengthwise) and stir for a min. Serve hot garnished with coriander leaves.

Note:
Ginger paste can be used instead of fresh ginger, but the flavour from fresh ginger is so unique and I prefer to use them in my cooking.

  4. Thanks Umm :) Oh yes, this was a Indo-chinese version, hence I placed it under fusion food :) I make mutton with lots of garlic too (but prefer that for chicken)

  11. Thanks Deepa :) I said 2 inch piece (1 nos) finely sliced. It should be very fresh and tender so that mildest flavours are released. Not 1 inch piece :)

  12. Hi Rach,

    Thanks for visiting my blog,you have a lovely space too..Do keep on visiting..Prepartion and use of spice is amazing..can we do this in veggie version..which vegetable goes well with this,plz let me know..

  13. Thanks Leena :) veggies don't require so much of ginger, the flavour would be too strong (in meat, its just fine). You can substitute ginger with garlic, and meat stock cube, with veg stock cube or tomato aroma cube and can try it with veggies like asparagus, mushrooms, cauliflower, broccoli, baby corn, etc. I have couple of veg recipes in my blog, and most weekends I blog veg recipes... U can have a look at them :)
