mutton elumbu kuzhambu
Recipe for Mutton Elumbu Kuzhambu. Mutton bone soup. This kuzhambu is best served with idli and dosa. Recipe with step by step pictures.

Mutton elumbu kuzhambu is Tamil style of bone broth served with idli or dosai for breakfast. The mutton bones are slow cooked with spices for a long time. When the bones are cooked for a long time, the collagen from the bones is broken down making it very healthy and rich in amino acids. It is also very good for gut health.

Here are some of the products that will be useful for making this recipe
Instant Pot
Turmeric Powder
Black Pepper Powder

Here is how to make Mutton elumbu kuzhambu
Here is what you will need for making the masala paste. I have used about 10 long green chillies for making the curry. The long green chillies are not very spicy. If you want a mild curry, use only 4-5 chillies. Also try to use country tomatoes (naatu thakkali) for this recipe.

Switch on the Instant pot. Set the Instant pot on sauté mode. Add in a teaspoon of oil. Add in the fennel seeds and curry leaves. Be generous with the curry leaves. They add a nice aroma to the curry. Let the fennel seeds become aromatic. Add in the sliced onions. Sauté for a minute.

Cancel the saute mode on the the instant pot. Select pressure cook mode. Set the timer to 60 minutes. Cook on high pressure for one hour. Manually release the pressure after the said time or wait for the pressure to settle. Both the methods work fine.

Finally add add in the juice of one lime. If you have guests at home, also add in half a cup of thick coconut milk. This will make the curry very rich and more tasty.

    Thanks for the recipe. Looks delicious. 2 questions. One, Can we prepare this in pressure cooker? If so, how? Two, Can we have this dish as a stand-alone soup instead of curry for idli?
