Step 10: Initial Mixing

Mix all the ingredients thoroughly with a spoon until the mutton is well coated with the spices and marinade.

Step 11: Add Ginger Garlic Paste

Step 16: Tenderize Mutton

Stir the mutton, cover the pan again, and continue to cook until the mutton is soft and fully done. This process typically takes 45-60 minutes, depending on the quality of the mutton and heat level.

Step 17: Garnish and Serve

Once the mutton is cooked and tender, garnish with fresh chopped coriander leaves. Serve the quick and flavorful mutton masala hot with roti or naan.

• Adjust the amount of green chilies and Kashmiri chili powder according to your spice preference.

• Ensure the mutton is cooked on a medium-low flame to allow it to tenderize properly and absorb the flavors.

• For best results, marinate the mutton for at least 30 minutes, or even longer in the refrigerator.

• Add diced potatoes along with the water for a heartier curry.

• For a richer flavor, you can add a tablespoon of ghee at the end of cooking.

• Replace mutton with chicken for a quicker cooking time.
