Smoke-point the oil, add whole spices, and let them darken a shade — the base of everything.

Add the marinated mutton and sear on high, turning, till no pink remains; then add hot water to cover and bring to a simmer.

Chef's tip
A final squeeze of lemon or lime right before serving wakes up every other flavour.
