Method

6 steps. Read it through before you start.

  1. 01
    Get set

    Take the mutton out of the fridge 20 minutes before cooking and pat it dry. Wash your hands, board and knife after handling raw meat.

  2. 02
    Grind

    Blend all the paste ingredients with the vinegar to a smooth, thick paste.

  3. 03
    Marinate

    Coat the mutton in two-thirds of the paste. Rest for at least 1 hour.

  4. 04
    Brown the onions

    Heat the oil and fry the onions until golden. Add the remaining paste and cook for 4 minutes.

  5. 05
    Add the mutton

    Add the marinated mutton, sugar and salt. Cook on high for 8 minutes.

  6. 06
    Simmer

    Add the potato and water. Cover and simmer for 40 to 45 minutes until tender and the oil floats.

Questions

Can I make it less hot?+

Yes. Use fewer chillies, or swap half for Kashmiri chillies which give colour with less heat.

Why add potato?+

It is a traditional Goan addition that soaks up the gravy. Skip it if you prefer.
