Method

1
Dry roast fennel, coriander seeds, dried red chillies, star anise and stone flower, then grind fresh with coconut.
2
Heat gingelly oil, fry curry leaves and onions until deep golden.
3
Add ginger garlic paste, tomatoes, turmeric and salt; cook to a soft masala.
4
Add village style mutton masala and sear on high flame for 5 minutes so the masala coats every piece.
5
Add the ground masala with a little hot water, cover and cook until tender and the oil separates. Garnish with coriander.

சமையல் குறிப்பு

மசாலாவை சமைக்கும் அன்றே அரைக்கவும்; கடை பொடி செட்டிநாடு சுவையை தராது.

Grind the masala fresh on the day you cook — bottled powder never gives Chettinad flavour.
