Combine Chicken and Simmer
Finish and Garnish
Substitute the chicken pieces and mince with mutton pieces and mutton mince. Increase the simmering time significantly (around 60-90 minutes or pressure cook) until the mutton is tender.
For a richer and milder gravy, stir in 2-3 tablespoons of fresh cream or a paste of 10-12 soaked cashews at the end of cooking.
To impart a smoky flavor, place a small steel bowl in the center of the finished curry. Add a piece of red-hot charcoal to it, pour over a few drops of ghee, and immediately cover the pan for 2-3 minutes to trap the smoke.
