Method

  1. 1

    Soak the cashew nuts in 100ml hot water for 15 minutes, then blend to a smooth paste.

  2. 2

    Heat the ghee in a large pan and fry the green cardamom pods for 30 seconds, then add the chopped onion and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes until soft but not browned.

  3. 3

    Add the garlic and ginger and the mutton and cook for 8 minutes, turning, without letting it colour too much.

  4. 4

    Stir in the white pepper and cashew paste, then add the natural yoghurt a spoonful at a time, stirring constantly.

  5. 5

    Pour in 300ml water, bring to a gentle simmer, cover and cook over low heat for 55 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 pale, mild gravy before serving with rice.
