Andhra Style Gongura Mutton | Mutton Curry | How to Make Gongura Mutton
10 Comments
This Spicy, sour Andhra style Sorrel and Mutton curry will be all time favourite in every household.
This goes perfectly with Hot Rice or Fried or Masala Rice.
This dish is made both in Andhra and Telangana. Mostly made in Andhra, it is very simple to make and require a few ingredients only. If the Mutton is cooked well with proportionate Salt and Chilli powder, you get a perfect taste.
It is generally made in the same method by all Telugu people. Ingredients differ depending upon the region. I am following Guntur Style Curry here.This is an age old recipe.
The dish served in Restaurants is slightly different as they mix Mutton and Sorrel once the order has been placed so the Mutton doesn't absorb the sourness from the leaves and may taste bland.
The recipe I am showing here takes time but you will get a perfect taste.

Tips
Mutton:
1.Tender Mutton with bones should be used. Pieces should be of medium size.Do not cut the pieces too small as it becomes pulpy after it gets ready.
Oil:
- This recipe needs more Oil than usual. Oil makes the sourness from the leaves get absorbed thoroughly in the Mutton.Generally, dishes made with Mutton need more oil.
Sorrel:
-
There are two varieties of Sorrel leaves. White and Red. Red leaves are used as they are more sour than the white ones.This is used to make Pickles also.
-
If you are using White leaves add a little Tamarind to get some extra sourness.
-
Use only the leaves and not the stem in this recipe. Rinse the leaves thoroughly in water so that the fine sand is removed from the leaves.
For tasty Curry:
- Cooking Mutton patiently for at least an hour gives a good taste. Cooking in a cooker doesn't give a perfect taste though you can cook faster.
Cooking in Cooker:
- If you have time constraints, cook it in cooker with 750ml water and then follow the method prescribed.
