Instructions

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

  • In a large pot, heat 3 tablespoons of oil over medium heat until it shimmers. Add 2 sliced onions and sauté for about 8-10 minutes until they turn golden brown and fragrant.
  • Stir in 1 tablespoon of ginger-garlic paste into the onions, sautéing for an additional 2 minutes until the raw scent disappears.
  • Add 2 chopped tomatoes to the pot, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until they soften significantly.
  • Incorporate 2 teaspoons of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon of garam masala, 1 tablespoon of coriander powder, 1 teaspoon of cumin powder, and salt to taste, along with 2 slit green chilies.
  • Introduce 1 kg of bone-in mutton pieces into the pot, stirring well to coat the meat evenly.
  • Pour in ½ cup of yogurt and mix thoroughly, ensuring the yogurt is evenly integrated with the mutton and spices.
  • Pour enough water into the pot to cover the mutton completely. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 45-60 minutes.
  • Once the mutton is tender, remove the pot from heat and garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.

Notes

Consider marinating the mutton for better flavor. Don’t rush the onions for depth in flavor.
