Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Sauté Cumin Seeds
Heat 1/2 cup of oil in a pan. Add 1 tsp of cumin seeds and fry for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 2: Sauté Meat and Aromatics
Add 1 kg of meat to the pan and stir. Then, add 2 chopped medium onions, 2 tbsp of fresh garlic, and 1 tbsp of fresh ginger. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat changes color.
Step 3: Add Spices
Add 1 1/2 tbsp of red chilli powder, 1 tbsp of turmeric powder, and 1 tsp of salt to the meat. Mix everything well to coat the meat with the spices.
Step 4: Simmer the Meat
Pour in 500 ml of water and stir. Cover the pan with a lid and let it cook on low to medium heat for 45-60 minutes, or until the meat is tender.
Step 5: Add Tomatoes and More Spices
Once the meat is tender and the water has reduced, add 3/4 cup of tomatoes. Then add the whole spices: 3 bay leaves, 4 cloves, 3 green cardamoms, 1 stick of cinnamon, and 1 black cardamom. Also add 1 1/2 tbsp of dry coriander powder and 1 tbsp of cumin powder. Stir well to combine.
Step 6: Cook with Spices
Cover the pan again and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to break down and the spices to release their flavors.
Step 7: Incorporate Yogurt and Fresh Herbs
Add 1 cup of yogurt to the curry and mix it in thoroughly. Then, add chopped chillies and fresh coriander. Stir to combine.
Step 8: Final Simmer
Cover the pan and let the curry simmer for another 5 minutes on low heat.
Step 9: Garnish and Serve
At the end, garnish the mutton curry with sliced chillies, julienned ginger, and fresh coriander. Serve hot.
