Hyderabadi Mutton Marag | Wedding Style Creamy Mutton Soup | Marag Recipe

Welcome to Osama Jalali’s Food World!

Today we’re making a royal wedding delicacy from Hyderabad — Hyderabadi Mutton Marag.

Marag is a rich, creamy and aromatic mutton soup traditionally served at Hyderabadi weddings before the biryani. Unlike regular mutton soups, this one is delicately spiced, mildly creamy, and infused with nuts, fresh herbs and white pepper — giving it a refined and royal flavour.

If you love authentic Hyderabadi cuisine, this recipe is a must-try.

👨‍🍳 Method

Heat oil in a heavy-bottom pan and add whole spices. Let them splutter.

Add ginger garlic paste and mutton. Sauté well for 5 minutes.

Fry until the mutton slightly browns at the edges.
Add yoghurt and cook for another 5 minutes.

Pour water to create stock and cover the lid. Cook for about 1 hour or until mutton becomes tender.

Meanwhile, grind cashews, almonds, milk and green chilli into a smooth paste.

Once the mutton is cooked, add the nut paste and cook on slow flame.
