Description

Mutton Handi is a traditional and flavorful North Indian and Mughlai dish made by slow-cooking succulent mutton pieces in a handi, a deep, curved clay pot, which enhances the aroma and tenderness of the meat. This rich curry features a thick and creamy gravy prepared with a blend of aromatic spices such as cumin, coriander, garam masala, turmeric, and dried fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi). The mutton is cooked with onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and yogurt or cream, resulting in a luscious, spicy, and deeply flavored dish. Mutton Handi is often garnished with fresh coriander and green chilies and is best enjoyed with naan, roti, or steamed basmati rice. It is a popular dish for special occasions and festive gatherings due to its indulgent taste and rich texture.
