Ingredients

• 500 grams Mutton (bone-in, cut into chunks)
• 2 medium Onions (finely chopped)
• 2 medium Tomatoes (finely chopped)
• 6 units Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Ginger (grated)
• 2 units Green chilies (slit lengthwise)
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup Yogurt (whisked)
• 2 units Eggs (hard-boiled)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves (chopped)
• 1 cup Water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper powder

Directions

Step 1

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds until aromatic.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and green chilies. Sauté for another 2 minutes.

Step 5

Mix in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and garam masala. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until the mixture turns into a thick paste, about 6-8 minutes.

Step 7

Add the mutton pieces and stir to coat them with the spice mixture. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the mutton to brown slightly.

Step 8

Lower the heat and stir in the whisked yogurt. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent curdling.

Step 9

Pour in the water, add salt, and stir. Cover the pot and let it simmer on low heat for 40-45 minutes, or until the mutton is tender. Stir occasionally and add more water if needed.

Step 10

While the mutton is cooking, peel the hard-boiled eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Set aside.

Step 11

Once the mutton is cooked, adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed.

Step 12

Gently place the egg halves into the pot, yolk side up, and spoon some of the gravy over them. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 13

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or parathas.
