As winter approaches we start getting fresh cauliflowers. I chanced upon one with leaves and before the vendor could hack the leaves away I bought it from him to cook a favorite winter mutton dish.
Ingredients
Mutton -1/2 kg
1 cauliflower with leaves
Ginger – 1tsp
garlic paste -1 heaped tbsp
1 onion finely sliced
Haldi -1 tsp
Dhania 1 tbsp
Mirch powder to taste
Salt to taste
Garam masala powder 1/2 tsp for sprinkling on top.
Mustard oil -3 tbsp ( you can use less)
Juice of 1 lemon
Method
Cut the cauliflower leaves finely and break the florets
Wash & keep aside. Wash meat & keep aside. Trim the fat.
Heat oil till smell goes. Fry onions golden brown.
Add the ground & powder masalas and saute ( bhun na) till oil leaves sides. Keep adding dashes of water to prevent masala from getting burnt.
Add the meat and saute for few minutes.
Add the cauliflower & leaves.
Add 1/5 cup water to it and pressure cook. The leaves and meat leave water.
Pressure cook for 15-20 minutes depending on long meat takes to become tender.
When steam evaporates, open and dry the remains of water.
Take out in serving dish
