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
    Cook the mutton

    Pressure cook the mutton with a little salt and 300 ml water for 4 to 5 whistles. Keep the stock.

  3. 03
    Make the gravy

    Melt the butter. Fry the onion, then the ginger-garlic paste. Add the tomato puree and spices.

  4. 04
    Blend

    Cook until the oil separates. Blend with the soaked cashews to a smooth sauce.

  5. 05
    Combine

    Return the sauce to the pan with the mutton and about 200 ml of the stock. Simmer for 10 minutes.

  6. 06
    Finish

    Stir in the cream, crushed kasuri methi and sugar.

Questions

Why pressure cook the mutton first?+

Boneless mutton needs time to soften. Cooking it first makes it tender before it meets the sauce.

How do I make it milder?+

Use less chilli powder and more cream.
