6-8 Baby potatoes

5-6 Big Red onions - Medium chopped

5-6 Big Tomatoes - Medium chopped

1 Big pod of Garlic + 3 inches of Ginger or 2 tsp of Ginger + Garlic paste

4-5 Green Chillies chopped

1 tsp Turmeric Powder

1 tsp Red Chilli Powder

1 tsp Peppercorns (Kali Mirch) - crushed not powder

2 tbsp Garam Masala Powder

2-3 Bayleaves

2-3 Big Black + 2-3 Green Cardamom (Elaichi)

1 cup fresh curd/dahi/yoghurt

10 tbsp of cooking oil

chopped Coriander Leaves - for garnishing

Salt to taste

100 ml water

Method:

On high flame, heat all the oil in a big deep pan or your pressure

cooker, fry the ginger + garlic for 1 min, add all the onions

and fry until light brown. I prefer red onions as the pungency goes best with meat dishes,

add the mutton and fry it for another 10-15 minutes . Half way thru frying the mutton add the

turmeric, red chilli, garam masala powders, green chillies, bayleaves, black pepper and salt.

Later add the tomatoes and

cook till dry. Then add the curds and cook for 5 mins. Add the water and the baby potatoes.

Keep stirring well at all times as we are cooking on high flame.
