Mutton Dak Bungalow
Mutton Dak Bungalow is prepared with a blend of aromatic spices and features potatoes and fried boiled eggs in a thick mutton gravy.
Ingredients
- 500 grams Mutton (cut and cleaned properly)
- 2 tablespoons Curd
- 5 pieces Potatoes (peeled and cleaned properly)
- 4 pieces Eggs (boiled)
- 3 pieces Onions (sliced thinly)
- 1 tablespoon Turmeric Powder
- 1 tablespoon Red Chili Powder
- 1 tablespoon Kashmiri Red Chili Powder
- 3 tablespoon Mustard Oil
- Salt to Taste
Whole Spices:
- 2 pieces Dry Chilies
- 1 piece Cinnamon
- 6 pieces Green Cardamom
- 1 piece Black Cardamom
- 4 pieces Cloves
- 1 piece Bay Leaf
- 15 pieces Black Pepper
- 1 tablespoon Whole Coriander Seeds
- ½ tablespoon Whole Cumin Seeds
- ¼ piece Nutmeg
- ¼ piece Mace
For Paste:
- 1 inch Ginger
- 2 pieces Garlic
Instructions
- Add curd, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, Kashmiri red chilli powder, 2tbl tablespoons of mustard oil and salt to the mutton.
- Mix everything, cover the marinated mutton, and leave it for half an hour. Proper marination is important so that flavours of spices penetrate mutton pieces.
- Dry roast the whole spices and grind them to make a fine and distinctly flavourful blend.
- Put a cooking pan on the gas stove to heat up.
- Add oil to the pan and fry the whole potatoes. Make sure the potatoes are forked at different places so that salt easily gets into them.
- After the potatoes turn red on both sides, take them out of the pan.
- Now fry the boiled eggs in oil and take them out in a pan.
- Pour more oil (if needed) into the pan.
- As soon as the oil is heated up, add onion and fry it until it gets brown.
- Add marinated mutton to the pan.
- Mix well in the pan and place a lid on the pan. Make sure to cook the dish on a high flame.
- After a few minutes, remove the lid and add 1 tablespoon of roasted spices.
- Mix well and place the lid once again. You don’t need to add water at this stage as marinated mutton will release enough water.
- Wait for 10-15 minutes and remove the lid. Mutton has already started releasing oil and gravy is getting thick, which means it’s time to turn off the oven.
- Transfer the mutton into a pressure cooker and pour hot water (as per your requirement) into the cooker.
- Pressure cook the mutton until meat is enough tender (2-3 whistles).
- Open the pressure cooker carefully and let the steam go out completely.
- Add fried potatoes, stir well and cook for a few minutes (3 whistles).
- Turn off the flame. Carefully open the lid.
- Retransfer the Button Dak Bungalow to the cooking pan.
- After the gravy comes to a boil, add fried boiled eggs and give a good stir. Place the lid and let it cook for 5 minutes.
- Remove the lid and add roasted spices for final flavor and stir.
- Mutton Dak Bungalow is ready. Serve it with steamed rice, pulao, paratha, luchi, naan, roti, or bread.

Notes
You are advised to choose the shoulder portion or the leg of the goat to cook this dish. This will give it its traditional look and texture.
The eventual taste and flavor of the Mutton Dak Bungalow lies in the marination of the mutton pieces. This makes the pieces softer and infuses the flavor perfectly. The minimum marination time should be two hours, but you can marinate it overnight
I use authentic spices to make the dish. Ensure that you roast the spices in a dry hot pan and crush them instead of grinding them in the mixer. This will give the dish its traditional richness and intensify the eventual flavor and taste.
Ensure that you caramelize the onions. This is a very important step because it will add to the sweetness of the Mutton Dak Bungalow and also give it its conventional texture, flavor and depth. Make sure you are generous with the amount of onion used to make this dish.
The recipe is customizable and therefore you can alter the spice level to make it less spicy and hot. However, no further garnishing is required for this specific dish. Traditional Mutton Dak Bungalow comes with nothing else other than fried potatoes and boiled eggs.
