Instructions
- Wash the mutton pieces and keep them aside. Take a heavy-bottomed pan and heat some oil in it. Add the whole spices to it. Once they get aromatic, add the whole garlic cloves and ginger. Sauté them until they turn golden. Then add the onions and fry until they become soft.
- Add the washed mutton to the pan and sauté it. Then add the yoghurt and salt. Give it a mix and increase the flame. On high heat, cook the mutton until water starts separating from the curd. Close the lid, lower the flame and cook the mutton until it is soft and juicy.
- Once the mutton is cooked, add turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chilli powder and stir the ingredients. Increase the heat and sauté the mutton. Keep adding a bit of ghee while roasting for a few minutes, Once the curry is brown in colour, switch off the flame and garnish it with coriander leaves. Serve hot.
