MUTTON SOUP

Mutton soup is a healthy and a nutritious food, that is popular all around the world. In Tamilnadu, a southern state of India, mutton soup is usually made by adding a lot of spices to it. More than having it as a soup, most of them prefer to take it with rice.

Mutton soup is our family’s go-to dish, when anyone falls sick. In our culture, it is believed that mutton soup has medicinal properties, that is really good for weaker bones. It is a post partum recipe too. New moms are given this mutton soup for at least, 3 times a week.

ABOUT THE RECIPE:

We have been making this recipe in our home, for a really long time. We make this recipe with freshly ground masala. It tastes much better that way. Except for grinding the masala, the rest of the process is so simple. It is like a one pot recipe, and can be made in just 15 – 20 minutes.

INGREDIENTS FOR MUTTON SOUP:

• MUTTON – 1/2 KG

It is preferable to take mutton with bones. I have taken 1/2 kg of neck bones. You can take as much as you want. It can also be 100 gms.

• PEPPERCORNS – 1 TBSP
• CUMIN SEEDS – 1 TBSP

• GINGER GARLIC PASTE – 1 TBSP
• CHILLY POWDER – 1 TSP
• GARAM MASALA – 1/2 TSP
• TURMERIC POWDER – 1/4 TSP
• SALT – AS REQUIRED
• CORN STARCH – 1 TBSP
• LEMON(JUICE) – 1 NO.

• ONION – 1 NO.
• TOMATO – 1 NO.
• GREEN CHILLY – 2 NOS.
• CURRY LEAVES – 10 NOS.

HOW TO MAKE MUTTON SOUP:

• Grind pepper and cumin to a fine powder.
• Take a pressure cooker and add the washed and cleaned mutton to it.

• Add all the ingredients to the mutton, except cornstarch and lemon.

• Add 2-3 cups of water to it, and mix everything.

• Cover the pressure cooker and cook for 8 to 9 whistles.
• After the pressure is released, open the lid.

• Add 1/4 cup water to the cornstarch, and mix it without any lumps.

• Pour the cornstarch slurry to the soup.

• Add water as required, and let it boil on medium- high for 5 minutes.

• It slightly thickens. Now turn of the flame, and add, lemon juice to it.

YUMMY AND DELICIOUS MUTTON SOUP IS READY.

I LIKE TO HAVE THE SOUP WITH A GOOD STARTER ON THE SIDE. THIS TIME, I CHOSE CHICKEN 65, TO HAVE WITH MY SOUP.

VARIATIONS:

• I have taken 1/2 kg of mutton neck bones. You can take any part of mutton. Even 100 gms of mutton works well. It doesn’t have to be 1/2 kg.
• If you find it too spicy, you can skip the chilly powder.
• You can also avoid adding lemon, if you don’t like the tanginess of the dish.
• I have cooked curry leaves along with the mutton, so that it’s flavour gets into the soup completely. You can also add the curry leaves at the end, as a garnishing.
