Instructions
 

Marinate the Mutton

  • Wash and thoroughly dry the mutton cubes with a clean cloth. In a bowl, combine the mutton with yogurt, red chili powder, salt, coriander powder, and ginger-garlic paste. Mix well, ensuring the mutton is evenly coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably longer in the refrigerator.

Sauté Aromatics and Spices

  • Heat ghee in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until golden brown. Remove the onions and set aside. Add the remaining ghee to the pot.
  • Add cumin seeds, black peppercorns, cloves, green cardamom pods, black cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, star anise, and mace powder. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Cook the Mutton

  • Add the marinated mutton to the pot and stir constantly until the water evaporates and the mutton begins to brown. This will take approximately 10-15 minutes.

Simmer and Finish

  • Stir in the cardamom powder, sugar, fried onions, and Kashmiri chili powder. Add 1 cup of water, reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 14-16 minutes, or until the mutton is extremely tender.

Garnish and Serve

  • Garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Serve hot with paratha, naan, or rumali roti.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Sookha Gosht

  • For extra tender mutton, consider marinating it overnight.
  • Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preferred spice level.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot when sautéing the onions; work in batches if necessary to ensure even browning.
  • If the curry becomes too dry during cooking, add a tablespoon or two of water at a time.
