Ingredients

• 500 grams mutton
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large, finely chopped onion
• 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
• 2 finely chopped green chili
• 100 grams tomato purée
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 inch cinnamon stick
• 200 ml water
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh coriander leaves

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large pot or pressure cooker over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the bay leaf and cinnamon stick, sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the chopped onions and sauté them until they turn golden brown.

Step 4

Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and green chili, cook for an additional 2 minutes to remove raw flavors.

Step 5

Mix in the tomato purée, coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook the mixture for about 5 minutes until the oil starts to separate from the masala.

Step 6

Add the mutton pieces, stir well to coat them with the spice mixture. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mutton starts to brown.

Step 7

Pour in the water and mix well. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 45 minutes, or until the mutton is tender. If using a pressure cooker, cook on high until the first whistle, then reduce to medium and cook for 20 minutes.

Step 8

Once the mutton is cooked, stir in the garam masala and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot with a side of low-carb naan or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
