Ingredients

• 500 grams Mutton (goat or lamb, boneless, cut into small pieces)
• 3 tablespoons Ghee (clarified butter)
• 1 medium Onion (thinly sliced)
• 2 units Green chilies (slit)
• 1 tablespoon Ginger-garlic paste
• 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoons Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoons Fennel seeds (optional)
• 10 leaves Fresh curry leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves (chopped, for garnish)
• 1 unit Lemon (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the mutton pieces thoroughly and set them aside to drain.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan or pressure cooker over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the cumin seeds and fennel seeds (if using) and let them splutter for a few seconds.

Step 4

Stir in the sliced onions and sauté until golden brown, about 7-8 minutes.

Step 5

Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for 2 minutes until the raw aroma disappears.

Step 6

Add the mutton pieces to the pan and mix well to coat them with the onion mixture. Cook for 5 minutes on medium heat.

Step 7

Sprinkle the turmeric powder, red chili powder, ground coriander, and salt over the mutton. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.

Step 8

Pour in 1 cup of water, mix, and cover the pan. If using a pressure cooker, cook for 4-5 whistles, or until the mutton is tender. If using a regular pan, cover and simmer for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding water if needed.

Step 9

Once the mutton is cooked and tender, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of ghee in a separate pan.

Step 10

Add the curry leaves and green chilies to the hot ghee and sauté for a minute.

Step 11

Transfer the cooked mutton to the pan and stir-fry on high heat for 5-7 minutes to dry out excess liquid and develop a rich, spicy coating.

Step 12

Sprinkle garam masala over the mutton and mix well. Stir-fry for another minute, then turn off the heat.

Step 13

Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and a squeeze of lemon juice, if desired.

Step 14

Serve hot as a standalone keto-friendly dish or alongside a fresh salad.
