Instructions

1. 1

   Marinate the mutton in yogurt, spices and salt for at least 30 minutes — overnight if you plan like a grandmother.

2. 2

   Brown the meat in hot fat so every piece picks up colour before any liquid enters.

3. 3

   Fry the onions deep gold, add the aromatics and ground spices, and bhunao until the oil separates.

4. 4

   Return the meat, add hot water to come halfway, and simmer covered until tender, 35-45 minutes.

5. 5

   Uncover, reduce to the consistency the name promises, and rest before serving.
