Mutton is a very tasty thing and most of the people like to have it. Here is a very easy and light preparation of mutton. A great amount of yogurt that has been used in this preparation has made the preparation very light and digestible.

Ingredients:
•    500 grams mutton
•    1 large onion
•    5-6 garlic
•    1 inch ginger
•    250 grams yogurt
•    3-4 strings of parsley
•    2-3 black pepper powder
•    Cinnamon
•    Cardamom
•    Clove
•    Olive oil

Preparation

Wash mutton properly and cut them into small pieces. Remove bones from it. Grind onion, ginger and garlic into fine paste. Grind cinnamon, cardamom and clove into fine powder. Chop parsley finely. Grind black pepper seed and keep them aside. Beat yogurt well.

Process

Boil boneless mutton pieces into small amount of salty water. When they become tender, separate mutton and water and keep them in different container. Heat oil in a pan and add onion, garlic and ginger pate. Fry them well. Add mutton pieces and stir well to mix everything well. Add yogurt and stir continuously. Add the water which was used to boil mutton earlier. When they are dried down and turned into thick gravy add cinnamon, cardamom, clove powder. Cook them further one or two minutes.

You may add salt if you needed. But before adding salt taste the preparation because you have boiled the mutton in salty water and that has been already used. Before removing the preparation from the heat add black pepper powder and mix well. Garnish them with freshly chopped parsley. Serve them with steamed rice. You can also make the preparation with any other meat like chicken, turkey, lamb, etc.

Tips

Do not use cold water in the mutton or in any other meat because cold water makes meat stiff. Whenever you need to use water, use hot or at least warm water to keep the mutton tender.

Like any other meat mutton is a good source of high-quality proteins with sufficient amount of al the essential amino acids. Like other meats it is high in fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol, an excellent source of B vitamins and heme iron, the form of iron most easily absorbed by the body.
