Ingredients
  

Mutton Marinade

  • 2 pounds mutton cut into chunks
  • 1 cup plain yogurt for tender texture
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 teaspoon salt divided
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala warm flavor

Gravy Base

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for cooking
  • 2 pieces yellow onions thinly sliced
  • 2 pieces tomatoes chopped
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric rich color
  • 2 cups water for simmering

For Serving

  • 3 cups cooked basmati rice warm
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 piece lime cut into wedges

Instructions
 

  • Mix yogurt, garlic, ginger, half the salt, and garam masala in a bowl. Coat mutton evenly.
  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook onions until deeply golden and fragrant.
  • Add tomatoes, curry powder, and turmeric. Stir until softened and richly aromatic.
  • Add marinated mutton and cook until lightly browned while sealing in flavor and moisture.
  • Pour in water and simmer slowly until the gravy thickens and the meat becomes tender.
  • Serve warm over basmati rice with cilantro and lime wedges for bright flavor contrast.

Notes

Cook longer for softer meat or slightly less for firmer texture. Freeze gravy separately from rice for easier reheating later. Stir gently during simmering to maintain smooth consistency. Customize flavors with potatoes, coconut milk, peas, or extra chili flakes. Store leftovers refrigerated for up to four days and reheat slowly for best texture.
