Increase the number of dried red chillies to 12-15 or add a slit green chili along with the tomatoes for extra heat.

If you don't have tamarind, you can use 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or 1/2 teaspoon of amchur (dry mango powder) for a tangy flavor. Add it towards the end of the cooking process to preserve its flavor.
Mutton Gassi can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors often deepen and taste even better the next day. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
