- Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
- Tomato - 1 medium, chopped
- Ginger-garlic paste - 1 tablespoon
- Green chili - 1, slit
- Yogurt - 50 grams
- Coconut milk - 100 ml
- Cooking oil - 2 tablespoons
- Cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon
- Coriander powder - 1 teaspoon
- Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
- Red chili powder - 1 teaspoon
- Garam masala - 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt - to taste

Steps
- Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak it in water for 30 minutes, then drain.
- Heat cooking oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
- Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown. Then add the ginger-garlic paste and green chili, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften. Add coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well.
- Add the mutton pieces to the pot, coating them with the spice mixture. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mutton is browned.
- Reduce the heat and add yogurt and coconut milk. Stir to combine, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 30-35 minutes until the mutton is tender.
- In a separate pot, bring 300 ml of water to a boil. Add the soaked basmati rice and a pinch of salt. Cook until the rice is tender and water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
- Once the mutton is cooked, sprinkle garam masala over it and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Fluff the rice with a fork and serve it on plates topped with the mutton curry. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
