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.

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