Do you love meat with potatoes combo? In Kerala, there are a lot of combos of mixing meat with a veggie like beef koorka curry, beef kaya curry, chicken potato curry. This is another tasty combo of mutton with potatoes. Mutton curry is always a big 'yes' here in whichever form, but we don't buy the meat often as it's red meat and may not be very good for health. This time I prepared mutton biriyani with the mutton and had some leftover meat after that which was not enough to make a curry alone. So thought to add potatoes and try this combo of mutton and potatoes in the north Indian style. I already have a Kerala style Mutton Potato Curry, check that out if interested. Kids totally loved the creamy, tasty curry with chapathis. Check it out if you love this combo.
- Rinse the mutton under running water and drain water completely. Keep aside.
- Wash the tomato & peel the onion. Add to a blender jar and grind smoothly without adding water.Keep aside.
- Heat a pressure cooker and add oil. To this add bay leaves and cubed potatoes. Sauté on high flame for 3–4 minutes until lightly browned on the outside. This gives a unique taste to the curry. Drain from oil and keep aside.
- To the same oil, add sliced onion and green chillies, curry leaves. Add the ginger-garlic paste. Sauté until lightly browned.
- Add the spice powders on low flame and sauté. To this, pour the purée and add 2tbsp water to the jar and add to the mix with 1/4 tsp salt. Cook covered for 2–3 minutes until the tomato onion paste is nicely cooked and oil floats on the surface.
- Finally, add in the washed mutton and mix well. Add 1/2 tsp salt and give a quick mix. Cook on high for 3–4 minutes.
- Add 1/2 cup water and close the lid. Pressure-cook for 3–4 whistles, or until it's cooked well.
- One pressure is released, open the cooker and check if the mutton is cooked well, else cook again till done. Give a quick mix and add the lightly fried potatoes.
- Add salt as needed, as the gravy already has salt, and add water if needed. Cook covered for 5–7 minutes.
- Check if the potatoes are cooked well and are intact. Don't overcook the potatoes.
- Garnish with coriander leaves and switch off the flame. Keep covered for 10 minutes and serve warm with chapathis or naan.

Absolutely love curry, esp. when the weather is chilly. I can only find lamb here though.
