  • 1/2 cup oil or ghee
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder

Instructions

Step 1: Sauté the Onions

Heat oil or ghee in a deep pan. Add the sliced onions and sauté until golden brown. Remove half of the fried onions for garnishing.

Add ginger-garlic paste to the remaining onions in the pan. Stir for a minute until fragrant. Add mutton pieces and sauté on medium heat until they turn brown.

Step 3: Add Spices

Once the mutton is cooked, add garam masala, cardamoms, cloves, cinnamon, and bay leaf. Stir well and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
