Prep 20 min Cook 69 min Serves 3 Medium

Ingredients

  • Yogurt1/2 cup, whisked
  • Ginger Garlic Paste2 tbsp
  • Garam Masala1 tsp
  • Saltto taste
  • Onion3, thinly sliced
  • Tomato2, chopped
  • Green Chili2
  • Coriander Powder2 tsp
  • Turmeric Powder1 tsp
  • Whole Garam Masala Spices2 tsp
  • Black Peppercorns1 tsp
  • Bay Leaf2
  • Vinegar1 cup, chopped
  • Red Chili Powder2 tsp
  • Mustard Oil3 tbsp
  • Pork500 g

Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the mutton in the vinegar and yogurt — long and slow is the only way tender happens.

  2. 2

    Get the oil properly hot, drop in bay, cardamom, cinnamon and cloves, and wait for the perfume.

  3. 3

    Brown the onions hard; the darker they go (without burning), the deeper the final gravy.

  4. 4

    Turn the pork and its marinade into the pot and sear hard, then pour in hot water and scrape the base.

  5. 5

    Simmer covered till fork-tender, stirring now and then, then boil open to reduce; finish with the green chili and garam masala.

Chef's tip

Resting the finished dish for five minutes off the heat lets the spices settle and deepen.
