Rezala

Indulge in the rich flavors of Rezala, a traditional South Asian curry made with tender mutton or beef simmered in a creamy yogurt sauce with aromatic spices. Perfect for a cozy family dinner or a festive gathering.

• 500 grams mutton or beef
• 2 onion finely sliced
• 1 cup yogurt
• 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
• 1 tablespoon red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 2 tablespoons ghee or cooking oil
• 1 cup water

Method

1. 1

   In a large bowl, marinate the mutton or beef with yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Heat ghee or oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.

3. 3

   Add the marinated meat to the pot and cook on medium heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. 4

   Pour in the water, cover the pot, and let it simmer on low heat for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the meat is tender.

5. 5

   Once the meat is tender, check the seasoning and adjust if necessary. Cook uncovered for an additional 5-10 minutes to thicken the gravy.

6. 6

   Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

7. 7

   Serve hot with naan or steamed rice, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
