Ingredients
- 2 1/5 lb mutton
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1 1/2 lb onion
- 8 garlic
- 1 inch ginger
- 2 bay leaf
- 2 cinnamon stick
- 1 tsp cumin seed
- 4 green cardamom
- 1 black cardamom
- 10 black peppercorn
- 8 clove
- 4 dried red chilli
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1/2 tsp red chilli flakes
- 1 tsp red chilli powder
- salt, to taste
- 2 tomato
- coriander leaf, to taste
- 2 green chilli
Instructions
- 1Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat and add the sliced onions; sauté until they become translucent.
- 2Add the mutton pieces to the pot along with chopped ginger, chopped garlic, all whole spices (bay leaf, cinnamon sticks, cumin seeds, green and black cardamom, black peppercorns, cloves, dried red chilies) and powdered spices (coriander powder, red chilli flakes, red chilli powder); stir well to coat the meat.
- 3Add the sliced tomatoes and stir; if the mixture looks dry, add a small amount of water, but usually the onions will release enough liquid for the mutton to cook.
- 4Cover the pot and simmer on low to medium heat for about 45‑60 minutes, or until the mutton is soft and tender, stirring occasionally.
- 5Once the meat is tender, increase the heat to high and sauté, stirring frequently, until the oil separates from the gravy, indicating the stew has thickened.
- 6Garnish the stew with chopped coriander leaves and slit green chilies.
- 7Serve hot with roti or steamed rice.
