Instructions
- Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the mutton pieces and brown on all sides, around 5-7 minutes.
- Add the chopped onions and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until the onions become soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Next, add the diced tomatoes, potatoes, chilli powder, coriander, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine, ensuring the mutton and vegetables are well-coated with the spices.
- Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer. Cook for about 2 hours, or until the mutton is tender and the flavors have melded together.
- Serve the Tomato Bredie hot with rice or a warm loaf of bread for a complete, satisfying meal.
Tips
- For a more robust flavor, you can substitute half of the water with beef or vegetable broth.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of chilli powder to your preference. If you like it spicy, add more; if you want it milder, add less.
