Instructions for Preparation:
• Remove the marinated mutton from the refrigerator 30-40 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature.
• Heat ½ cup Purti Kachi Ghani Mustard Oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pan or wok over medium heat.
• When the oil is hot, add bay leaves, dry red chillies, green cardamoms, cinnamon stick, cloves, and black cardamom. Sauté until the spices turn light brown and release their aroma.

Instructions for Cooking the Curry:

• Mix in the Kashmiri red chilli powder, cumin powder, and coriander powder. Sauté for 1-2 minutes.
• Add the marinated mutton along with the marinade to the pan.
• Increase the heat to high and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
• If necessary, add a small amount of hot water to prevent the spices from sticking to the pan.
Simmering:
• Adjust the salt and spices as needed.
• Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer the mutton for 50-60 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add a few tablespoons of hot water occasionally if needed to prevent the spices from sticking.
• Cook until the mutton is tender but not falling apart.
Optional: Add slit green chillies for extra spice and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes before turning off the heat. Allow the dish to rest for 2 minutes before serving.
