Instructions
- 1. Marinate the Mutton :

- 2. Prepare the Masala Base :
- Heat oil or ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan or pressure cooker.
- Add cumin seeds, bay leaf, cinnamon stick, cloves, and cardamom. Sauté until aromatic.
- Add sliced onions and cook until golden brown.
- Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
- Add chopped or pureed tomatoes and cook until the mixture thickens and oil separates from the masala.
- 3. Cook the Mutton :
- Add the marinated mutton to the masala base.
- Stir well and cook on medium heat for 7-8 minutes until the mutton is seared and coated with the masala.
- Add Tiger Mutton Masala and red chili powder (if using). Mix well and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
- 4. Add Water and Cook :
- Add 2-3 cups of water, depending on the desired consistency of the curry.
- Cover and cook: Pressure Cooker: Cook for 3-4 whistles on medium heat, then reduce to low and cook for another 5-7 minutes. Pot Cooking: Cover and simmer for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mutton is tender.
- Once cooked, check the salt and adjust if needed.
- 5. Garnish and Serve :
- Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.

- Use bone-in mutton for a more flavorful curry.
