Instructions

1. 1. Wash the mutton pieces thoroughly under running water and pat them dry. Marinate with turmeric powder, salt, and yogurt. Set aside for 30 minutes.
2. 2. Heat mustard oil in a deep pan or kadhai over medium heat until it starts smoking. Lower the heat, add bay leaves, dry red chilies, green cardamoms, cloves, and cinnamon stick, and sauté for 1 minute.
3. 3. Add finely chopped onions to the pan and sauté until golden brown, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
4. 4. Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for 2 minutes until the raw aroma disappears.
5. 5. Add chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and garam masala. Mix well and cook until the tomatoes soften and the oil separates from the mixture.
6. 6. Add the marinated mutton to the pan. Stir well to coat the mutton with the spice mixture. Cook on medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mutton is seared and begins to release its juices.
7. 7. Add a cup of water to the pan, cover, and cook on low heat until the mutton is tender and the gravy thickens to your liking. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
8. 8. Taste and adjust salt as needed. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
