Instructions to make Hyderabadi Mutton Dalcha:
- Wash & soak the dals for about 30 mins & then, boil that with some salt & turmeric powder, in the measured water- either in the pressure cooker or in a kadhai/wok…Also, wash & clean the mutton & set aside
- In the meanwhile: Take a wok/pan & add in the ghee over a medium-high flame & add in the tempering spices into it- once the is heated
- Add in the sliced onions to it once the spices have released a nice aroma & sauté gently until translucent (we don’t want it to be brown at all), sauté for about 2 mins time
- Then, add in the 3G Paste to it- Again, sauté for about another 2-3 mins time until the raw smell goes off & then add in the washed & cleaned mutton to it & keep stirring continuously & sautéing for about 5 mins time before putting it to the pressure cooker
- Pressure cook for about 3-4 whistles on the high flame & reduce the flame to medium & allow it to cook for another 5-6 mins time & then turn off the flame
- Once the steam of the pressure cooker cools down open the lid & boil it again, over the medium-high flame for the next 7-8 mins time by adding the already cooked dal to it & stirring the same occasionally
- Because of the dals- the gravy eventually thickens, once it’s cooled a bit & everything sets into it…Add in the Coconut Milk, at this point & give it a really nice mix until all well combined
- Allow it to come to a boil & then reducing the flame to medium-low- cook it for another 2-3 mins time & turn off the flame & let it sit on the oven in its standby position for another 10 mins time
- Serve it hot with equally piping hot steamed rice or can be had as the mutton stew as well since, the gravy is kept quite stewy…The taste & its aroma is absolutely outstanding & irresistibly tempting..
