About Mutton Rara
Mutton Rara, also known as rara gosht is a mutton recipe popular in North Indian states. It is also served at North Indian-style restaurants all around the world. Rara Gosht is made using mutton pieces and mutton mince and is very different from other mutton curries, which normally use either the keema or pieces. This curry’s impeccable taste comes from its use of rich spices such as cloves, black peppercorns, cinnamon, javitri, cardamom, bay leaf, and red dry chilies. Where does it get its name from? No one knows, but it is said that the dish was created by a Punjabi in Himachal for his roadside dhaba, and he named it after himself. Well, I don’t know if it’s true, but one thing I know for sure is that mutton rara curry is one of the most delectable mutton curries I have ever had. In this post, I am sharing a restaurant-style mutton rara recipe that I learned from a chef. Serve it for festivals or special occasions as a delicious meal with Indian bread, such as naan, tandoori roti, or khamiri roti. Marination Ingredients – Mutton is mixed with yogurt (curd, dahi), Kashmiri red chili powder, turmeric powder, salt, and ginger garlic paste.

Mutton Keema – Mutton keema (minced mutton) is also used with mutton pieces in this curry recipe. Ghee – Make this mutton curry in ghee as it gives the best taste. You can also cook it in mustard oil or any cooking oil if you do not prefer ghee. Whole Spices -You will need cloves (laung), black peppercorns (kali mirch), cinnamon (dalchini), mace (javitri), green cardamoms (hari elaichi), bay leaves (tejpatta), and dry red chilies.
