Instructions

1. Step 1: Prepare the Ragi Mudde. In a heavy-bottomed pan, boil 400 ml of water with a pinch of salt. Slowly add ragi flour while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Cook for 8-10 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally, until it forms a dough-like consistency. Roll into medium-sized balls and set aside.

3. Step 3: Add chopped onions, garlic, ginger, and curry leaves. Cook until golden and fragrant.
4. Step 4: Add mutton pieces, turmeric, and red chili powder. Sauté for 5 minutes until the mutton starts browning.
5. Step 5: Add chopped tomatoes, grated coconut, and roasted coriander seeds. Mix well and cook for another 5 minutes.
6. Step 6: Pour in 100 ml of water, add salt to taste, and pressure cook for 3-4 whistles.
7. Step 7: Once the pressure releases, check the consistency of the saaru. It should be slightly thin. Simmer for another 5 minutes if needed.
8. Step 8: Garnish the saaru with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot alongside the ragi mudde.
