Mutton Masala cooked in Hyderabadi style is extremely a mouth-watering and spicy dish; boiled lamb/ mutton pieces cooked in a spicy thick sauce made from a medley of roasted peanuts, sesame seeds, dried coconut, cashew nuts and curd paste. Cashew nuts mellow down the intensity of sesame seeds and groundnut flavours and balance it equally. This incredibly flavoured and aromatic dish goes well with any type of roti, naan, chapatti or fried rice. It makes you feel like you had a wholesome hearty meal raging out with delightful taste.
Hyderabadi cuisine
Hyderabadi cuisine is also popularly known as Deccani cuisine of India. This style of cuisine has become a princely legacy of the Nizams of Hyderabad state and is an amalgamation of Mughlai, Turkish and Arabic along with influences from the native Telugu and Marathwada cuisines. This cuisine comprises a broad repertoire of rice, wheat, meat dishes and the skilled use of various spices, herbs and natural edibles.
Hyderabadi cuisine emphasises largely on the use of ingredients which are carefully chosen and cooked to the right time and degree. A lot of attention is given in picking the right kind of spices, meat, rice etc. Certain additional fresh herbs, spices, condiments or combination of all these add a distinct taste and aroma to any dish. Key flavours from the Hyderabadi cuisine consists of coconut, tamarind, peanuts and sesame seeds which are extensively used in making most gravy based curries. The key difference from the North Indian Cuisine to this cuisine is the use of dry coconut and tamarind.
Undoubtedly, most Hyderabadis are compulsive meat eaters. In spite of being compulsive meat eaters, the influence of South Indian foods like dosas, idli, vada, upma etc cannot be discounted because of the influx of several vegetarians who live in Andhra Pradesh. Meat is cooked in different forms of curries that include Korma, pasindas, shorva, pathar ka gosht.
Hyderabadis are finicky in selecting the proper cuts of meat for specific dishes especially in Biryani and pasinda. Meat grounded into keema also takes its creative form in kebabs, koftas that are included for making standard breakfast. Usually these are eaten with different kinds of Indian flatbreads such as naan, paratha or phulka. Use of simple ingredients makes the food tantalizing and delicious.
Most of the dishes are given wonderful bagaar or tadka consisting of dried chillies, cumin seeds, mustard seeds, shah zeera, til etc that gives a punch to the dish. These ingredients are a combination from all corners of India, and the Arab and Turkish acquisition is seen in the use of seeds like shab zeera, khas khas, and magaz and kabab chini. One of the talents is to extract the subtle flavors from the spices when used with the standard ginger and garlic.
Enriched with a paste of coconut-sesame seeds, groundnuts and cashew nuts, flavoured with aromatic spices, the meat is slow cooked in yogurt till falling apart tender. The mildly spiced, creamy textured Mutton masala has warm comforting flavours and makes a great side with biryani, pulao and rotis.
On Formal occasions, you can also garnish the food with warq (a very fine, pure silver leaf created by prolonged hammering and flattening of a small piece of silver).
