Nepali Mutton Curry
Rich, aromatic, and deeply comforting, Nepali Mutton Curry is a traditional favorite that brings together tender pieces of goat meat slow-cooked in a fragrant blend of Nepali spices — a beloved dish for family gatherings, special occasions, or whenever you crave true homestyle flavor.

This hearty curry starts with fresh goat meat, usually bone-in for maximum depth and richness. The mutton is marinated with turmeric, salt, and sometimes a hint of mustard oil to enhance the natural flavors.

In a heavy-bottomed pot or dekchi, onions are sautéed until golden brown, then ginger, garlic, and green chilies are added for a warm, aromatic base. A blend of traditional spices — like cumin, coriander, garam masala, fenugreek seeds (methi), and sometimes Sichuan pepper (timur) — gives the curry its signature earthy, slightly peppery warmth.

Tomatoes are added and cooked down to form a thick, flavorful gravy that coats each piece of mutton. The meat is then slow-cooked until it becomes tender and juicy, absorbing all the spices and releasing a delicious, rich aroma.

Fresh coriander leaves are sprinkled on top for a final burst of freshness, and the curry is often served with steamed rice (bhat), sel roti, or warm roti — with pickles and simple side veggies to complete the meal.

Hearty and satisfying, Nepali Mutton Curry is more than just a dish — it’s a taste of home, tradition, and the warmth of Nepali hospitality in every comforting bite.
