Ingredients

• Mutton (bone-in, cut into pieces) - 300 grams
• Onion (finely sliced) - 1 medium
• Ginger-Garlic paste - 1 tablespoon
• Yogurt - 100 grams
• Red chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Garam masala - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
• Coriander powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cinnamon stick - 1 inch
• Cloves - 3
• Cardamom pods - 2
• Salt - to taste
• Oil (preferably mustard oil) - 2 tablespoons
• Water - 1 cup
• Chura (flattened rice) - 100 grams
• Fresh coriander leaves (for garnish) - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. Heat the mustard oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until it reaches smoking point. Reduce the heat and add cumin seeds, cinnamon stick, cloves, and cardamom pods, sautéing for 30 seconds.
2. Add the finely sliced onions and cook until they turn golden brown, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
3. Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for another 2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
4. Add the mutton pieces to the pot, increasing the heat to medium-high. Brown the mutton on all sides for about 5-7 minutes.
5. Lower the heat and mix in the yogurt, red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Pour in the water, bring the mixture to a boil, then cover and simmer on low heat for about 40 minutes, or until the mutton is tender.
7. Once the mutton is cooked, stir in the garam masala and cook for an additional 5 minutes uncovered to enhance the flavor.
8. While the mutton is cooking, in a separate pan, lightly toast the chura (flattened rice) over low heat until it is crisp.
9. Serve the mutton rogan josh hot over a bed of crispy chura, garnished with fresh coriander leaves.
