Method

  1. 1

    Heat the vegetable oil in a karahi or heavy-based pan and brown the mutton pieces over high heat for 8 minutes, turning often.

  2. 2

    Add half the garlic cloves and half the ginger strips, fry for 1 minute, then stir in the tomatoes, ground turmeric and chilli powder.

  3. 3

    Cover and cook over low heat for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding a splash of water if it catches, until the mutton is tender enough to pull apart with a fork.

  4. 4

    Uncover, turn the heat up and cook for 8-10 minutes, mashing the tomatoes into the sauce, until it thickens and turns glossy.

  5. 5

    Stir in the remaining garlic, ginger and the fresh green chillies and cook for 2 minutes more.

  6. 6

    Scatter with the fresh coriander and serve with naan or rice.
