In today's Non Vegetarian Thali, I am going to share the Andhra Mutton Curry that is cooked in our family. I am sure the Mutton Masala paste that I shared a couple of days back, made it interesting enough to see how the gravy was made. In fact, in my previous posts on the authentic mutton gravy that was prepared in my in-laws' place, I realized now that it's a different recipe. so I got geared up with the camera and warned my SIL and her husband, who was the chief chef of the day, that I might as well be underfoot for the entire period. I was always told that my bil makes the non veg dishes very well and I was eager to capture them for the blog. My SIL was in charge of grinding the masala for him while I was busy clicking away every small step. In fact, I got so busy that I called in Konda to help me jot down the recipe. She so happily obliged, in fact, refused to leave after a while. I had to literally force her out, else we were so cramped.
When it comes to the traditional non vegetarian dishes that are made in Andhra, it is bound to be spicy and delicious. I am not sure how much of a chilli powder I would have added for the amount of meat used for this gravy, but I was shell shocked seeing the chilli powder that went.
The menu that was decided was to make Mutton Kura, Chicken Roast, Fried Keema Balls, Keema Gravy (Keema Kofta curry), Masala Annam etc. I know I was just tired writing down the different methods they followed on the way. Both of them were very humble and kept saying the masala used were all the same for all dishes. Well, I know that though it's true, few things were added or removed, which surely made a lot of difference to the end dish.
For the Keema Varieties, hubby dear's aunt was in charge. He used to say so much about her dish, that he finally requested her to show me by cooking it. So I was again fixed to a spot trying to capture every single move of her. Will write more on this in the Keema Kofta post that will follow.
