ABOUT Jungli Maas RECIPE

A simple, rustic mutton dish, cooked usually while on shikar in the jungles/deserts of Rajasthan with just five ingredients, hence the name jungli maas.

Ingredients Serving: 4

Mutton/Goat meat - 800 grams (I used with bone, cut into small pieces, from the leg)
Dried red chilies - 15
Garlic cloves 10-12
Ghee/clarified butter- ½ cup
Salt - 1 tsp

Instructions

Heat ghee in a heavy bottomed pan of suitable size, then add the meat and fry it for about 10 minutes.
Add the red chilies (whole) and salt. Cook adding a little water every now and then. The water should never dry up completely else the meat will fry and become dry but do not add too much water as this way the meat will boil.
I added about 4-5 tablespoons every time. Add the garlic cloves when the meat is almost cooked through, so that the garlic gets cooked but still holds its shape.
It takes about an hour for the meat to cook, but the time will depend on the size of the pieces.
