This curry captures the essence of Mumbai’s bustling spice markets. Using a mix of black pepper, cumin, turmeric, and garam masala, this dish delivers a depth of flavor that’s warm yet balanced. Begin by searing Modern Gourmet mutton pieces, then simmer them in a gravy of tomatoes, onions, and a splash of coconut milk for a creamy texture. Serve with hot naan or steamed rice for a true Mumbai-style feast.
The traditional Kashmiri Rogan Josh takes on a Mumbai flair with local spices like dried red chilies and fenugreek. The key is a slow-cooked process, allowing the spices and yogurt to meld with tender mutton for a dish that’s both mildly spicy and richly aromatic. With a vibrant red color and a melt-in-the-mouth texture, this curry is perfect for impressing guests on a festive fall evening.
For lovers of heat, the Malvani mutton curry is a must-try. Originating from the coastal regions of Maharashtra, this recipe features fiery red chilies, coriander, and tamarind, lending a zesty kick and intense flavor profile to the dish. Coconut, a staple in Malvani cuisine, is added for balance, creating a complex and satisfying curry that pairs well with fluffy rice or chapati.
Bhuna Gosht, or “dry-fried” mutton, is a classic North Indian dish with layers of smokiness and spice. The meat is cooked down in a paste of browned onions, garlic, ginger, and green chilies. Toss in Mumbai’s own special blend of spices like fennel, cardamom, and cloves, then let the mutton absorb the flavors until it’s beautifully tender. Enjoy with paratha or roti for a meal that brings the warmth of fall to your plate.
Known for its bold, peppery flavors, this Maharashtrian classic uses Goda masala—a unique spice mix of coconut, sesame, and poppy seeds, among other local ingredients. Modern Gourmet’s high-quality mutton shines in this dish, becoming tender and juicy as it cooks. The result is a rustic, soul-soothing curry with a hint of sweetness and spice, ideal for savoring on a chilly evening.
The famed Goan Vindaloo gets an autumnal upgrade with cinnamon and star anise, spices that add warmth and a bit of sweetness to the dish.
