Instructions
Use more bony mutton or lamb for khurdi. Wash throughly and set aside.
Heat oil in a pot on medium heat and add whole spices. Crackle the spices for a minute until fragrant.
Add ginger, garlic, and chili paste and stir the mixture for a few seconds.
Mix in the chopped onions. Fry the onion until soft and translucent.
Add the flour and stir constantly. Roast the flour. The mixture will get clumpy, but that's ok.
Now add water gradually with constant stirring so no lumps are formed.
Add the mutton pieces and add the remaining water. Increase the heat and let the soup boil. Skim that foam to get rid of dirt particles.
Cover the pot and cook for 90 minutes until the meat is done.
After the meat is done add milk and bring it to boil again. Once the milk has boiled add salt and mint. You can chop the mint leaves or add whole leaves it is up to you.
Simmer the broth for 15 minutes and your soup is ready.
Notes
Goat's head khurdi: It is also called 'siri'. You can make delicious khurdi with siri and more bones that have bone marrow. We'll need goat head, skinned and cut into pieces. The brain, eyes, and ears are not added. We need just head bones and tongue. Wash thoroughly in water. and follow instructions similarly. Skim longer and more vigilantly to remove any goat hairs lingering around.Chicken neck khurdi: If you don't like red meat, the necks and bones of organic chicken also make very tasty and healthy khurdi. You can add chicken bullion cubes for better taste.
