Laal maas (Hindi: लाल माँस) or Ratto Maas (in native Rajasthani: रत्तौ मांस)[2][3](lit. "red meat")[1][4] is a meat curry from Rajasthan, India. It is a mutton curry prepared in a sauce of yoghurt and hot spices such as red Mathania chillies. This dish typically is very hot and rich in garlic. The gravy may be thick or liquid and is eaten with chapatis made out of wheat (usually eaten in summers) or bajra (a millet grown in Rajasthan and eaten in the winter months).[5]

Chef Bulai Swain said that: "Traditionally, laal maans was made with wild game meat (jungli maans), such as boar or deer and chillies were used to veil the gamy odour of the meat. It was a favourite among the royalties. While the spicy flavour is remained intact now, the meat used is tender mutton."[6] It is predominantly in the mode of tamas and rajas.
