Mutton Mandi
So many of u love my chicken mandi and have asked how to make in mutton , so heres the process for u guys , bakra eid is up soon u can follow the recipe with your raan ( qurbani meat is big in size minimum 3 kg raan , so make sure to double the quantity of the below recipe)
I have made the mandi a bit spicy than it usually is . To suit the taste of my family . If you like a spicier version follow the exact recipe . If you want the exact less spicy mandi then use half the quantity of mandi spice mix and ginger garlic .
For the mandi spice mix grind together …. 1.5 inch dalchini.. 1 tbsp whole zeera …half tbsp whole dhanya …5 green elaichi .. 4 long .. 1 tsp whole black pepper ..a pinch of jaiphal and 1 big tej patta to a fine powder .
For the mutton marination….take 1 small raan (1.5kg max .. tell the person to make 3 cuts so you can fold the raan and fit in your cooker , or u can also cut it into 3-4 big pcs) or 1 kg of mutton pcs . Make slits , wash and keep aside… grind together .. half onion , 1 big tomato, 2 tbsp vinager , salt , 2 tsp mandi spice mix , half tsp black pepper powder ,half tbsp ginger paste , 2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of yellow colour. Let marinate overnight.
To make the rice …. in a big pressure cooker put oil and slightly fry the raan on both sides ( if using pcs , fry few pcs at a time )on high heat just till it gets golden ( remove the extra marinade n then fry) keep the mutton aside
In the same oil saute 1 stock cube , 1.5 tbsp chopped garlic and the remaining mandi spice mix. Just saute for a min and add the left over marinade.
Saute for 2 mins and add water ( add water just enough to cook 2 cups of rice)
Add the fried mutton to the water and pressure cook till tender .
Remove the mutton and in the water put salt for the rice and put 2 cups of washed and soaked basmati rice .give a stir and cover and cook till the rice is completely done. Keep on dum for 5 min and then stir . Don’t stir in the middle or rice will break.
Your rice is ready.
Heat few pcs of coal and roast the mutton on direct flame just to give charred effect.
For tomato chutney … grind 3 tomatoes 1 green chilli , very little coriander and salt . Grind to paste.
For pickle … boil cucumber , carrot and green chillies in 1 cup water half cup vinager and salt for 5 min.
Remove rice in a thaal and put the muttob pcs or raan on top. Serve along with tomato chutney and pickle.
