Kharda Mutton

Kharda Mutton- A spicy, zesty, and rustic dry mutton preparation that shines in its pure simplicity. No frills recipe that uses only few basic Ingredients, but its taste is going to linger on your taste buds for a longer time.

Mutton Kharda is an interesting recipe that combines mutton with spiciness of Thecha or Kharda. If you are not familiar with Thecha or Kharda- check out its recipe on our blog. It is usually served as an accompaniment with Jowar Bhakri, Pithla and/or Vangyache Bharit. Mirchi cha Thecha provides that desired kick to the taste buds.

Conventionally Mutton Kharda is a spicy, piquant preparation but to suit the palate of broader audiences or folks who are not accustomed to spicy food can tone down the spiciness by reducing number of chilies. However, if you are like me, who experiments with food and practices such daredevilry occasionally, feel free to add in more chilies.

Mutton Kharda

As I stated in the beginning, this is a no frill recipe. We are making use of very few ingredients in this preparation. Conventionally in this dish mutton is cooked in an open pot instead of a pressure cooker.  I prefer pressure cooker as it saves me a lot of time. However, if you prefer to stick to roots and want to cook in a pot, it may take anywhere around 45-60 mins depending on the quality of mutton used.

Mutton is cooked separately and tossed later in the Kharda mixture. I have added garam masala and pinch of sugar, both of which are an optional ingredient and can be skipped if you want to. Garam masala packs a final punch and not only adds to aroma but also adds to the flavors. I prefer adding sugar to dishes that has medley of various flavors, as it plays an important role in balancing these varied flavors. However, let me reiterate these are some modern-day twists to the recipe and if you prefer same conventional method, you can skip both ingredients.

Make this spicy, zesty, and rustic dry mutton preparation that shines in its pure simplicity. No frills recipe that uses only few basic Ingredients, but its taste is going to linger on your taste buds for a longer time.

Mutton Kharda goes well with Chapatis or Bhakris. If you are a rice person like me, having some steamed rice along with spicy Kharda is what I call as a “soul-satisfying” moment.
