Instructions
- Clean and wash the mutton pieces thoroughly under cold running water.
- In a large bowl, marinate the mutton with ginger garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt. Ensure that the mutton is well-coated with the spices. Cover and let it rest for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
- Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated mutton, frying it for about 10 minutes until it is browned on all sides.
- Reduce the heat to medium, and add the chopped onions and slit green chilies to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.
- Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Allow the mutton to cook slowly for about 40 minutes or until it is tender and the flavors are well combined. Stir occasionally and add a little water if necessary to prevent sticking.
- Once cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.
Tips
- For a richer flavor, you can add a few tablespoons of yogurt to the marinade.
- This dish can be served with steamed basmati rice or warm naan. Pair it with a side of raita for a refreshing contrast.
