Recipe
1
Heat ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan and sauté the sliced onions until golden brown.
2
Add the ginger-garlic paste and cook for a minute until the raw aroma disappears.
3
Stir in the red chilli powder, turmeric powder, and coriander powder, splashing a little water to prevent burning.
4
Add the mutton pieces and sear them well on medium-high heat for about 5 to 7 minutes.
5
Pour in the tomato puree, vinegar, jaggery, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
6
Add 1 cup of water, cover the pan with a tight lid, and simmer on low heat until the mutton is tender and cooked through, about 45 to 50 minutes.
7
Uncover and adjust the consistency of the gravy; it should be thick and clinging to the meat with a balance of sweet and tangy flavors.
8
Garnish with fresh coriander and top generously with crispy potato salli just before serving to retain the crunch.
