Cooking Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mutton

    Rinse the mutton pieces under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the mutton into manageable pieces if not already done.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Finely chop the onions and set aside. Puree the tomatoes in a blender until smooth.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Onions

    In a large pot or heavy-bottomed pan, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.

  2. 4

    Add Spices

    Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for another 2 minutes. Then, add salt, black pepper, turmeric powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, and garam masala. Stir well to combine.

  3. 5

    Cook Mutton

    Add the mutton pieces to the pot and brown them on all sides, ensuring the spices coat the meat well.

  4. 6

    Add Tomatoes and Water

    Once the mutton is browned, add the pureed tomatoes and mix well. Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a boil.

  5. 7

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the mutton is tender. Stir occasionally and add more water if necessary.

  6. 8

    Add Green Chilies

    About 10 minutes before the mutton is done, add the slit green chilies and stir well.

Serving

  1. 9

    Garnish and Serve

    Once the mutton is fully cooked and tender, remove it from heat. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with rice or naan.
