  • 3 pieces Cloves
  • 3 pieces Green Cardamoms
  • 1 piece Black Cardamom
  • 1/2 piece Mace

For the Main Dish

  • 1/2 Cup Oil (light olive oil recommended)
  • 3 pieces Potatoes (peeled and cubed; Russets preferred)
  • 3 pieces Onions (thinly sliced)
  • 1/2 Cup Curd (adds a creamy tanginess)
  • 2 pieces Bay Leaves
  • 500 g Mutton (cubed, tender cuts recommended)
  • 1 tbsp Ginger Garlic Paste (a flavor powerhouse)
  • 1/2 tbsp Salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder (for color)
  • 1 tsp Degi Mirch (for flavor and color)
  • 1/2 tbsp Coriander Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin Powder
  • 1 tsp K. Red Chilli Powder (adjust to preference)
  • 2 tbsp Water (for cooking masalas)
  • 2 Cups Water (adjust for consistency)
  • 6-7 pieces Slitted Green Chillies (for garnish)
  • Chopped Coriander (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Grind the spice mix by combining cumin seeds, black peppercorns, cloves, green and black cardamoms, and mace until fine.
  • In a deep pan, heat the oil over medium heat and fry the cubed potatoes until light golden brown. Keep an eye to avoid burning.
  • Thinly slice the onions and fry them in the same oil until golden brown. Remove and let cool.
  • Blend the cooled fried onions with curd to form a smooth paste, using a splash of water for assistance.

Cooking

  • In the same pan, add bay leaves and mutton. Fry on high heat for about 5 minutes until browned.
  • Add ginger garlic paste, cook for another 2 minutes, then mix in salt and the ground spice mix. Add a splash of water.
  • Incorporate the onion-curd paste and let it cook until oil starts to separate.
  • Add 2 cups of water and mix well. Allow it to simmer.
  • Seal in a pressure cooker on high until the first whistle, reduce flame, and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Once pressure is released, gently fold in the fried potatoes, cover, and cook for another whistle.
  • Garnish with slitted green chillies and chopped coriander before serving.

Notes

For best results, use quality spices and consider marinating mutton in yogurt and spices beforehand. Allow the dish to rest overnight for deeper flavors.
