2. In a mixer, blend all the marinade ingredients into a smooth paste. Take a bowl and add the marinade paste and mutton pieces. Mix well. Cover the bowl with a cling wrap and refrigerate the meat for about eight hours.
3. In a mortar and pestle, add the chillies and garlic and crush them into a coarse paste. Keep aside.
4. In a pan or wok, heat some mustard oil and add the bay leaves, red chillies, cinnamon, green and black cardamoms and cloves. Sauté all the ingredients until fragrant. Add the onions, cover, and fry them until soft and brown. Add the garlic-chilli paste along with the minced ginger and sauté for three to five minutes.
5. In another bowl, add all the powdered spices along with a few tablespoons of water. Add the mixture to the gravy and cook for ten minutes.
6. Add the marinated mutton pieces along with the marinade. Fry well and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring continuously.
7. In a bowl, whisk the yoghurt and add it to the gravy. Switch to high heat and add the sugar and salt. Now, on medium heat, slow-cook the gravy. Add hot water if required and stir well. Cover the wok for a minute, open and stir and cover again. Keep repeating the process.
8. After about 90 minutes, you will notice the mutton has turned dark. Once the mutton has become nice and dark, add water if required and cook until the meat is tender and soft.
