The Taste Makers

500g Mutton
1 medium onion
4-5 tbsp Yogurt
1 tbsp Cumin powder

1 tbsp red chili powder

Let’s Get Cooking

Cooking spicy mutton boti masala is almost ritual, and you start with intention, respect the ingredients, and end with something magical.

Here are the essential steps for building flavor in layers.

Step 1: Marinate with Love

Start by mixing the thick yogurt with your freshly ground spices, paste, and salt. Add the boneless mutton and mix the marinade into it thoroughly.

Let the rest for at least one hour, but overnight is best. This gives the meat time to absorb every nuance of spice.

Step 2: Saute to Build Base Flavor

In your pressure cooker, heat oil and saute the onions till golden. This step is not just for color; it adds natural sweetness and body to your masala.

Step 3: Pressure Cook for Tenderness

Put the marinated meat in the cooker, add 1 cup water, and cook it openly first so that the masala will cover the pieces.

Then, pressure cook it to ensure the meat turns soft and juicy. No chewy bites here, only fork-tender bliss.

Step 4: Final Fry with Butter

Transfer the cooked meat into a pan with melted butter. Fry till semi-dry.

This makes the masala cling tightly to each chunk, creating a lip-smacking outer layer.

Step 5: Smoke it Like a Pro

Put a hot piece of charcoal in the pan, then rapidly cover it with a few drops of oil or ghee. Let it infuse for a couple of minutes.

This is what takes your dish from yum to whao.

Time to Plate Up

Serve it right out of the pan while it is hot-trust me, that fresh, aromatic boti masala hits different when it comes out.
Use a nice, wide plate or bowl so you can really show those juicy mutton pieces coated in that thick, rich masala. It has got that ”wao” factor.
Sprinkle some chopped coriander on top, maybe a few ginger slivers or chili flakes if you are feeling fancy. It adds a fresh color and a burst of flavor.
A little squeeze of lemon just before serving? It is a game changer.
Add some sides to complete the vibe- like crunchy pickled onions, cool mint chutney, or a bowl of chilled raita to calm the heat.

Keeping It Fresh

Here is how to keep it just as tasty the next day.

Storage tips: Cool the dish completely before storing. Store it in an airtight jar in the refrigerator. It stays for three to four days.

Reheating Tips: Reheat it gently in a non-stick pan with a splash of water or a bit of ghee to revive the masala. Avoid using the microwave since it dries out the meat.

Freezing: You can also freeze it for up to 2 weeks. Just thaw it in the fridge overnight and reheat as mentioned above.
