Sausage dry roast

Now, I really don't know whether there is any recipe of this name, which obviously points to the fact that its been discovered by me lately. My hubby is a big fan of sausages, be it chicken or mutton and he prefers it to be given during breakfast along with the main course. Though he usually prefers it to be fried with a li'l oil, I was sort of thinking of getting 'out of the box' n making something unusual, get something appealing, and this, guys, is the outcome. Check it out, and u r gonna love it!

Ingredients :

Chicken/Mutton sausage : 250g

Onion : 1 no.

Turmeric powder : 1/2 tspn

Chilly powder : 2 tbspns

Coriander powder : 1 tbspn

Pepper powder : 1 tspn

Fennel seeds powder : 1 tbspn

Garam masala : 1/2 tspn

Coriander leaves : not more than a handful

Coconut oil : 3 tbspns

Salt : as required

Coarsely grind the following;

Shallots : 10 nos.

Green chilly : 7 nos.

Ginger : 1/2 inch piece

Garlic : 10 pods

• Take a heavy bottomed pan and pour a tbspn of oil. When hot, put the sausages cut into 1 inch pieces and saute for a minute. Remove from oil and keep aside.
• Add the coarsely ground ingredients and saute under medium flame until the raw smell goes off.
• Finely chop the onion and add it to the pan. Add turmeric powder and a little salt and saute until it turns transparent.
• Add chilly powder, coriander powder, fennel seeds powder and pepper powder along with a tbspn of oil and saute well for a few minutes under low flame. Check salt, add more if required.
• Add the sauteed sausages and garam masala and mix well. Add the remaining oil and saute under medium flame.
•  Add chopped coriander leaves and mix well. Goes well with jeera chappathi and any chappathi, puri or batura.

Note : I would suggest that after frying the sausage in a little oil, see if you like the taste. This suggestion cuz different sausages taste different and the one you like might be disliked by another, so choose for yourself and then make this dish.

• Add required salt and bring to cook in a pressure cooker. Need not add water since the water in mutton would be enough to get it cooked. Cook under low flame for about half an hour. Keep aside to cool.

Note : If the meat is tender, you may require to cook for 20 mins only. If it is not, you can make it tender by adding a tspn of vinegar to it before cooking. 

• Take a heavy bottomed wok or kadai and heat 1 1/2 tbspn oil in it. Once hot, put the ginger-garlic-shallots-green chilly paste into it and saute till the raw smell goes off. 
• Add curry leaves, 2 slit green chillies and finely sliced onions; saute till golden brown. Now, add the whole contents from the cooker along with mutton stock (water remaining after cooked). Check taste; add salt if required.
• Keep on sauteing, pouring oil through sides occasionally under low flame. Saute till its completely dry n roasted. 
• Sprinkle pepper powder and garam masala and mix well. Add the remaining green chilly slit into 4 pieces. You may add coriander leaves to garnish if you like coriander leaves. Thats it!

Note : This is very spicy; if you wish it to be less spicier, you may reduce the amount of chilly or pepper powder.
