Method

7 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
    Fry the onions

    Heat the ghee. Add the cardamom and cloves, then the onions. Fry to a deep golden brown.

  3. 03
    Add the paste and mutton

    Add the ginger-garlic paste and mutton. Cook on high for 8 minutes.

  4. 04
    Add the spices

    Stir in the turmeric, coriander powder, chilli powder and salt. Cook for a minute.

  5. 05
    Add the curd

    Lower the flame. Add the whisked curd a spoon at a time, stirring so it does not split. Cook until the oil separates.

  6. 06
    Simmer

    Add the water, cover and cook on low for 40 to 45 minutes until tender.

  7. 07
    Finish

    Stir in the garam masala and coriander.

Questions

How do I stop the curd splitting?+

Whisk it well, use thick curd and add it over low heat, stirring constantly.

Can I use low-fat curd?+

It works, but full-fat curd gives a creamier and more stable gravy.
