Ingredients

• 500 grams mutton (bone-in or boneless, cut into chunks)
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 large onion (finely chopped)
• 4 units garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
• 2 medium tomatoes (finely chopped)
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup whole30-compliant beef or chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the coconut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onions, and sauté for 4–5 minutes until they are soft and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes break down and form a thick base.

Step 5

Stir in the ground turmeric, ground coriander, ground cumin, ground paprika, and ground cinnamon. Toast the spices for 1–2 minutes to bring out their aroma.

Step 6

Add the mutton chunks to the pot and coat them evenly with the spice mixture. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the meat to brown slightly.

Step 7

Pour in the Whole30-compliant broth and coconut milk. Stir well, ensuring everything is combined.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer gently for 45–50 minutes, or until the mutton is tender and the gravy has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Taste the gravy, and adjust the salt and pepper as needed. Stir in the lemon juice for a bright, fresh flavor.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, alongside cauliflower rice or your favorite Whole30 vegetables.
