Instructions:
1. Marinate the Mutton:
Wash the mutton and pat it dry.
Marinate it with yogurt, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Set aside for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for better flavor).
2. Prepare the Curry Base:
1. Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan or pressure cooker.
2. Add cumin seeds and whole spices (bay leaves, cloves, cardamom, and cinnamon). Sauté until aromatic.
3. Add onions and sauté until golden brown.
4. Mix in ginger-garlic paste and cook until the raw smell disappears.
5. Add chopped or pureed tomatoes. Cook until the oil separates and the mixture thickens.
3. Cook the Mutton:
1. Add the marinated mutton to the pan. Sauté on medium heat for 10-12 minutes until the mutton is lightly browned and coated with the masala.
2. Add coriander powder, cumin powder, and adjust salt. Stir well.
4. Simmer or Pressure Cook:
In a Pan: Add 2 cups of water, cover, and simmer on low heat until the mutton is tender (this can take 45-60 minutes).
In a Pressure Cooker: Add water, close the lid, and cook for 4-5 whistles. Let the pressure release naturally.
5. Final Touch:
1. Once the mutton is tender, sprinkle garam masala and stir well.
2. Let it simmer for 5 minutes for the flavors to meld.
3. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
