Bihar's handi-sealed Champaran mutton, garlic-heavy and slow. Mutton rewards patience with a gravy you'll dream about. Best with ghee rice and a sharp onion-lemon salad.

Instructions

1
Wash the mutton and marinate with the garlic, yogurt, ginger garlic paste, salt and chili for at least two hours.
2
Smoke-point the oil, add whole spices, and let them darken a shade — the base of everything.
3
Fry the onions till deep brown — properly brown, ten to twelve minutes; this sweetness carries the curry.
4
Add the marinated mutton and sear on high, turning, till no pink remains; then add hot water to cover and bring to a simmer.
5
Simmer covered till fork-tender, stirring now and then, then boil open to reduce; finish with the onion and garam masala.

Chef's tip

Don't crowd the pan; steam is the enemy of the browning that builds flavour.
