Instructions
 

Prepare the Mutton

  • Wash the mutton thoroughly and boil in water for 5 minutes. Drain the water, rinse again, and set aside.

Marinate the Mutton

  • Marinate the mutton with 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon Kashmiri chili powder, 1 tablespoon ginger paste, and 1 tablespoon garlic paste. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes (or longer for deeper flavor).

Sauté Aromatics

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil (plus ghee, if using) in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add the cumin seeds, cinnamon stick, mace, cloves, star anise, black peppercorns, green cardamom pods, and black cardamom pods. Sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
  • Add the sliced onions and sauté until golden brown.

Cook the Curry

  • Add the chopped onions, ginger-garlic paste, and sauté until golden brown. Stir in the turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the cardamom powder. Add the marinated mutton and cook uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Simmer and Serve

  • Add 1 cup of water, cover, and simmer until the mutton is tender (about 20 minutes). Adjust the heat as needed to maintain a gentle simmer. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
  • Serve hot with rice, naan, or roti.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Spicy Mutton Curry

  • For an even richer flavor, marinate the mutton overnight.
  • Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preferred spice level. Kashmiri chili powder adds color without excessive heat.
  • Don't rush the cooking process. Allowing the mutton to simmer gently ensures tenderness and allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
  • If the curry becomes too thick, add a little more water to reach your desired consistency.
