Mutton Curry (Nepali Style)
Mutton Curry Nepali Style — locally known as Khasi ko Masu — is a beloved traditional dish that’s deeply flavorful, hearty, and perfect for special occasions and family gatherings. Tender pieces of mutton (goat meat) are slow-cooked with a blend of classic Nepali spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, fenugreek seeds (methi), and bay leaves. Fresh ginger, garlic, onions, and tomatoes form the base of the rich, rustic gravy. Mustard oil is often used for an authentic aroma and depth of flavor, while a hint of timur (Nepali Sichuan pepper) adds a unique zing. The curry is simmered until the mutton is melt-in-your-mouth tender, with the spices deeply infused into the meat. Served hot with steamed rice or bhat, roti, or sel roti, Nepali-style Mutton Curry is a comforting, soul-warming dish celebrated for its homely, robust taste and traditional goodness.
