Ingredients

Missing something?

  • No beef or mutton (gosht)? Use chicken (cook for less time).
  • No wheat flour (atta)? Use maida (plain flour), the result is softer.
  • No onion? Use spring onions, or a little onion powder (less depth).
  • No yogurt? Use milk with 1 tsp lemon juice, rested 10 minutes.

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a heavy pot (or a clay kunna pot) and fry the onions for 10 minutes until golden.
  2. Add the mutton and ginger-garlic paste and fry on high heat for 8–10 minutes until the meat is browned.
  3. Add the salt, chilli, turmeric, coriander, fennel and dry ginger and fry for 2 minutes. Stir in the yogurt and cook until the oil separates.
  4. Add 4 cups hot water, cover tightly and cook on the lowest heat for 1½–2 hours, until the meat is very soft and coming off the bone. Add hot water if the gravy gets too low.
  5. Stir in the atta mixture and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring, until the gravy is silky and thick and the oil floats on top.
  6. Sprinkle the garam masala, ginger, green chillies and coriander. Serve with naan or roti.
