Ingredients

• Mutton (bone-in, cut into pieces) - 400 grams
• Yogurt - 150 grams
• Onion (finely sliced) - 1 medium
• Ginger-garlic paste - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Heat the cooking oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and fry until golden brown.
2. Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for another minute until the raw smell disappears.
3. In a bowl, whisk together the yogurt, Kashmiri red chili powder, garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, and salt until smooth.
4. Add the mutton pieces to the pot and sear them for about 5-7 minutes until browned on all sides.
5. Pour the yogurt mixture over the mutton and mix well to coat the meat evenly.
