Ingredients

• 500 grams Mutton (bone-in, cut into bite-sized pieces)
• 2 medium Onion, finely sliced
• 3 medium Tomatoes, pureed
• 100 grams Yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Garlic paste
• 1 tablespoon Ginger paste
• 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 piece (2 inches) Cinnamon stick
• 3 pieces Green cardamom pods
• 4 pieces Cloves
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 2 teaspoons Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala powder
• 1 teaspoon (to taste) Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 250 milliliters Water

Directions

Step 1

Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or pressure cooker over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the cumin seeds, cinnamon stick, green cardamom pods, and cloves, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the finely sliced onions and sauté until golden brown, about 7-10 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the garlic paste and ginger paste, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.

Step 5

Add the mutton pieces and sauté on high heat for 5-7 minutes until lightly browned on all sides.

Step 6

Mix in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt, and cook for another 2 minutes to coat the mutton in the spices.

Step 7

Pour in the pureed tomatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and oil begins to separate.

Step 8

Lower the heat and add the yogurt, stirring continuously to prevent curdling. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Pour in the water, then cover and simmer on low heat for about 40-50 minutes, or pressure cook for 20 minutes, until the mutton is tender and the curry has thickened.

Step 10

Sprinkle the garam masala powder and stir well. Adjust the salt as needed.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or chapati.
