Marinate the mutton in the vinegar and yogurt — long and slow is the only way tender happens.
- 2
Get the oil properly hot, drop in bay, cardamom, cinnamon and cloves, and wait for the perfume.

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

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

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.
