Mustard Oil3 tbsp
Black Pepper1 tsp
Grated Coconut1 cup

Optional extras

Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped

Instructions

1
Marinate the mutton in the grated coconut and yogurt — long and slow is the only way tender happens.
2
Smoke-point the oil, add whole spices, and let them darken a shade — the base of everything.
3
Take the onions to mahogany, adding a pinch of salt to help them along.
4
Turn the mutton and its marinade into the pot and sear hard, then pour in hot water and scrape the base.
5
Cook patiently — the gravy should coat the meat, not swim — and rest before serving with the black pepper.

Chef's tip

If the masala sticks, add water a tablespoon at a time rather than drowning the dish.
