Craving an authentic, flavorful dish? Qamar Restaurant proudly presents our signature mutton palak recipe, a delightful blend of tender mutton and nutrient-rich spinach. This traditional Pakistani dish is renowned for its perfect harmony of spices and wholesome ingredients, making it a go-to favorite for those seeking both taste and nutrition.
Ingredients:
- 500g mutton (bone-in or boneless)
- 2 bunches fresh spinach (palak)
- 2 medium onions, finely sliced
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
- 2 green chilies (optional)
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- Salt, to taste
- 3 tablespoons oil
Method:
- Prepare the Mutton: In a large pot, heat oil and sauté cumin seeds until they sizzle. Add the finely sliced onions and cook until golden brown. Stir in ginger-garlic paste, followed by the mutton pieces. Sear the mutton until lightly browned, allowing the meat to absorb the fragrant spices.
- Cook with Tomatoes and Spices: Add the chopped tomatoes, green chilies, and spices (coriander, turmeric, garam masala, and salt). Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and the mutton becomes tender. This process infuses the mutton with rich flavor, crucial for creating the depth of the dish.
- Incorporate the Spinach: In a separate pan, blanch the spinach until wilted, then blend it into a smooth puree. Add this to the mutton mixture, ensuring it coats the meat evenly. Simmer on low heat for another 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld into a perfectly spiced gravy.
- Final Touches: Adjust seasoning as needed and finish with a sprinkle of garam masala for a fragrant kick. Serve hot with naan or steamed rice.
