Hello Lapis

Just put a recipe for Kashmiri Mutton dish on site. Any comments?

I have Lapis Kashmiri Pandit recipe with me and will certainly give it a try. Lapis's recipe ingredients seems to be more like -- ground fennel, giger powder, ground bl.pepper and interestingly macerated red peppers etc and covering it 2 layers of foil paper.(I wonder if the recipe is in this site?).

Last week i tried the recipe of Lamb balti khada masala 2 (by F.Maqsud). Everything was going well but the recipe said 2 cups of water which i realised later was just too much (half a cup would be fine)and I had to reduce the water by cooking for a longer time, but the end product was excellent. Thanks again.

Rajneesh, the recipe is for 1.5 kg meat. How much meat were you cooking? I haven't cooked it for a while, but I don't remember there being too much water. Let me know, I will re-visit the recipe, if there is a problem.

Hello Mamta,

The lamb was more than 1.5 but little less than 2 kgs.

I have reduced the water as an optional choice.

I have had a look at the recipe for Kashmiri mutton, and I have the following comments. I think, instead of commenting on the recipe, I'll give you the way I would cook it.

Heat oil, add home made garam masala (cassia, cloves, brown cumin seeds, mace and black cumin seed, all coarsely ground, note, no bay leaves, which would be cassia leaves anyway) and freshly ground black pepper. Add the meat (on the bone would be best), and sprinkle with hing powder (compounded or the real deal!). Fry until the meat has browned a little. Add water, but only up to half way on the meat/bones. Turn down the heat to a slow simmer, and cook with a lid on the pot for about an hour. Before serving, I would add saffron in boiled water, then salt to taste.

I don't recognize this recipe as any Kashmiri recipe I am aware of.

Thanks Lapis. Your recipe sounds good. The one I posted comes from the family of a Kashmiri friend of the person who cooked it for my husband. She says it is exactly as she had seen it.
