Mutton kurma is an easy one-pot recipe to prepare with available ingredients in your pantry. It is a south Indian-style preparation prepared in a pressure cooker. This kurma is spicy and flavourful with few spices, and the coconut paste elevates the taste to the next level.
Making mutton kurma in a pressure cooker takes only a few minutes and makes mutton pieces spongy and delectable. Apart from mutton, I use the same basic masalas for chicken and vegetable kurma. My Amma uses to try different spices when making this recipe. I also follow in her footsteps. Today I’m sharing the basic kurma recipe. You can adapt your version by adding any meat or vegetables according to your taste.
Lets see how to prepare one pot mutton kurma in step by step pictorial preparation below!
Firstly, add oil to a pressure cooker on medium heat. Saute chopped onions until translucent.
Secondly, add homemade Ginger Garlic Paste and saute well until the raw smell disappears.
Thirdly, goes in chopped tomatoes and saute until it turns mushy.
Then add cleaned washed mutton pieces and add chilli powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and salt to taste.
Stir well until mutton pieces are seals with the spice mixture and coat well.
Now add two cups of water and wait until it starts to boil. Close the lid and cook on medium heat. Wait for eight whistles and switch off the flame.
Wait until the pressure settles. Meanwhile, add little water to coconut and fennel seeds and grind to a fine paste.
After pressure settles down, remove the lid of the pressure cooker and add coconut paste and stir well. Do not overcook the mutton kurma, as the coconut will starts to split. I always cook for two to three minutes after adding the coconut paste.
Transfer the mutton kurma to a serving bowl and garnish it with fresh coriander leaves.
Variations
You can add coconut milk instead of coconut paste. The consistency will not be thick like this.
When grinding coconut paste, you can add few soaked cashews. It adds richness to the kurma.
You can substitute any meat, vegetables, or Paneer(cottage cheese) in the kurma.

Great tip of not cooking much after adding the Coconut. If one overlooks what happens, I am not very familiar with dishes of Curry with Coconut. Looks like a super awesome recipe!
