Ingredients

  • 500 gm mutton
  • ½ cup ghee
  • 600 gm potatoes (finely chopped or pureed)
  • 5 to 6 cloves of garlic (minced)
  • 1 garlic (minced)
  • Salt as per taste
  • 2 tsp Kashmiri red chilli powder
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp chilli flakes
  • Handful of coriander leaves

Method

  • Heat a pan and add ghee to a wok. 
  • Add mutton and fry on the high flame while stirring constantly. Keep stirring until the mutton changes its colours.
  • Now add the minced ginger and garlic and sauté it. Saute them until the raw smell goes away. Make sure that the ginger and garlic don’t change their colour.
  • When done, add all the spices and 2 cups of water for the mutton.
  • Add 3 more cups of water for the mutton and bring it to a boil.
  • Turn down the flame and cover it with the lid.
  • Simmer for an hour for mutton.
  • Keep checking during this time to ensure there is sufficient water and top up a little as and if required.
  • When the meat is 80% done and there shouldn't be much water in the pan, the pan will look quite oily 
  • Set the flame to high and add the tomatoes. 
  • Let it cook and keep stirring constantly. Also, keep scraping the bottom of the pan. 
  • The tomatoes will release a lot of moisture. 
  • Keep stirring and just allow everything to concentrate.
  • Once the gravy looks almost done and the oil is beginning to come to the surface, add in the chopped coriander and green chilli. 
  • Turn the heat to low and allow this to simmer without the lid on for 5 minutes.
  • Garnish with additional chopped coriander and matchstick-cut ginger.

Enjoy!
