Instructions

1. 1

   Marinate the mutton

   • In a bowl, combine the mutton pieces with yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and 1 tsp of salt.
   • Mix well to coat the mutton evenly.
   • Set aside to marinate for at least 20 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
2. 2

   Sauté the aromatics and onions

   • Heat ghee or oil in a pressure cooker over medium heat.
   • Add the whole spices: green cardamoms, black cardamoms, cinnamon stick, cloves, and black peppercorns. Sauté for 30-40 seconds until fragrant.
   • Add the thinly sliced onions and fry, stirring often, for 10-12 minutes until they turn a deep golden brown. This step is crucial for the gravy's flavor and color.
3. 3

   Cook the mutton

   • Add the marinated mutton to the cooker. Increase the heat to medium-high.
   • Sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring continuously, until the mutton is browned on all sides and the moisture from the yogurt has mostly evaporated.
