Method

  1. 1

    Soak the dried red chillies in hot water for 15 minutes, then blend with a splash of the soaking water to a smooth paste.

  2. 2

    Heat the mustard oil in a large pan and fry the bay leaves for 30 seconds, then add the chopped onion and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes until golden.

  3. 3

    Add the garlic and ginger and the mutton and brown on all sides for 8 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir in the chilli paste and kashmiri chilli powder, then add the natural yoghurt a spoonful at a time, stirring well.

  5. 5

    Pour in 350ml water, bring to a gentle simmer, cover and cook over low heat for 55-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mutton is tender and no pink remains.

  6. 6

    Uncover and simmer for a final 5 minutes to thicken the fiery red gravy, then scatter with coriander and serve with rice.
