- Take a bowl and add the mutton pieces to it. Add hung curd, ginger paste, garlic paste and mustard oil. Mix all the ingredient until the mutton pieces are evenly coated. Marinate the pieces for 3-4 hours.
- Take a pan and heat some mustard oil into it. Slightly crush the cinnamon stick, black cardamom, green cardamom, and cloves. Add them to the pan. Then add bay leaf, dry red chillies and onion. Fry the mixture until the onions turn slightly brown. Then add the ginger and garlic and saute for a few more minutes.
- Add the marinated mutton pieces and the chopped potatoes. Fry the ingredients on high heat for 5-6 minutes. Add coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, sugar and salt. Cook for another few minutes. Add a cup of water and cover the pan with a lid. Let the curry slow-cook for 1.5 to 2 hours until the mutton is cooked thoroughly. Keep stirring at regular intervals.
- Once the curry is about to be done, add garam masala and lemon juice. Stir it and cook the curry for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with coriander and serve hot.
