    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Pakistani Mutton Masala Curry is various spices mixed in together with homemade tomato and green pepper puree. Its unique taste and flavor envelopes your tastebuds differently than any other South Asian curry! 

    WHAT IS MUTTON MASALA CURRY?

    Pakistani Mutton Masala Curry is a mouthwatering blend of spices mixed in with tomato puree. It's a South Asian dish that is usually served in dhabas (roadside shacks) around Pakistan. Unlike other popular Pakistani recipes, this dish is a hidden gem. 

    HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO COOK THE MEAT IN THE INSTANT POT?

    It takes 10 minutes in the Instant pot to cook mutton.

    CAN TOMATO PUREE BE MADE BEFOREHAND?

    NO!, because it will loose its color.

    INGREDIENTS

    • Ginger garlic paste - adrak lesun ka paste
    • Turmeric powder - haldi
    • Red chili powder - lal mirch powder
    • Coriander powder - danya powder
    • Cumin powder - zeera powder
    • Tomato paste - tamatar ka paste
    • Garam masala powder - garam masala powder
    • Salt - namak

    Tomato puree 

    • Tomatoes - tamatar
    • Green peppers - hari mirchi

    Garnish

    • Cilantro (chopped) - danya
    • Ginger - adrak
    3 plates with three bowls of mutton masala curry with a man's hand holding one of the bowls

    HOW TO MAKE MUTTON MASLA CURRY?

    In a bowl, add meat, yogurt, ginger garlic paste, lemon juice, salt and mix well then marinated.
    Transfer the bowl mixture in the Instant Pot. Add water and pressure it.
    It should look like this after pressure. Set aside.
    Add whole spices and dry roast them on a wok on stovetop.
    Now add oil let it heat up.
    Add onion sauté it until brown.
    Then add ginger garlic paste.
    salt and powder spices.
    Add the mixture from the instant pot to the stovetop.
    cilantro and ginger, cover with the lid.
    Meanwhile, tomatoes and green in a blender.
    The tomato puree should look like this.
    Add tomato puree and tomato paste.
    Garnish with cilantro.
    mix well garnish with cilantro
    Enjoy!

    WHAT TO SERVE THIS WITH?

    • Naan/Chapati - Traditionally, served with naan, but naan is personally too heavy for me so I prefer chapati/roti. (My chapati recipe is coming up soon.)
    mix well garnish with cilantro for the Mutton Masala Curry

    WHAT TO PAIR THIS UP?

    On a casual weeknight, Mutton Masala Curry is a star itself. However, when hosting a Dawat (party) I personally like to pair Instant Pot Mutton Biryani, Authentic Pakistani Mutton/Goat Karahi (Karahi Gosht), and Pakistani Mutton Korma (Qorma). Don't forget to make my famous Cilantro Tomato Yogurt Raita.
