KASHMIRI MIRCHWANGAN KHORMA

mutton - 1 kg, small pieces
ghee - 1 tbsp
oil - 1 tbsp
salt - 1 tsp
turmeric - 1/4 tsp
garlic paste - 2 tsp
ginger paste - 3 tsp
whole red chilli - 5 nos., pasted with little water (can be increased if wanted more hot)
kashmiri chilli powder - 1 tsp
garam masala powder - 1/4 tsp

onion paste(sliced , fried till brown and pasted) - 2 nos.


1. heat oil and ghee and fry the mutton with salt and turmeric till well browned.
2. add ginger garlic pastes and fry till golden.
3. add the chilli paste and powder; and fry.
4. add the other items and add a few spoons of water.
5. when mutton is cooked, finish with chopped coriander.

note : what i missed , was 1 ingredient.
the authentic kashmiri dish has a spoon of cock's comb flower water added at the end.

cock's comb ( kozhi kondai in tamil) is boiled in water and strained; it is then added at the end which gives the dish a good red colour!!

and adding onion is my version, the original does not have onion !
