Method

Step 1:

Wash the mutton thoroughly and marinate it with curd, turmeric powder, half the ginger-garlic paste, and a little salt. Allow it to rest for at least 30 minutes.

Heat Freedom Kachi Ghani Mustard Oil in a pressure cooker or heavy-bottomed pan until it reaches smoking point. Reduce the flame slightly before cooking.

Step 4:

Add sliced onions and cook until golden brown.

Step 5:

Add the remaining ginger-garlic paste and green chillies. Sauté until the raw aroma disappears.

Step 6:

Add chopped tomatoes and cook until soft and oil starts separating from the masala.

Step 7:

Mix in red chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt. Stir well.

Step 8:

Add the marinated mutton and cook on medium-high heat for 8–10 minutes until the pieces are well coated with the masala.

Step 9:

Add sufficient water, cover, and pressure cook for 5–6 whistles or until the mutton becomes tender.

Step 10:

Once the pressure releases, simmer the curry for 10 minutes to achieve a rich consistency.

Step 11:
