Perfect for a special dinner, this mutton karahi recipe will delight your taste buds and leave you craving for more.

Ingredients:

• 1 kg mutton, cut into pieces
• 1/4 cup oil or ghee
• 3 medium onions, finely sliced
• 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
• 5-6 medium tomatoes, chopped
• 3-4 green chilies, slit
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon coriander seeds, crushed
• 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, crushed
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon garam masala powder
• Salt to taste
• Fresh coriander leaves for garnish
• Fresh ginger slices for garnish
• Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Mutton:
   • Wash and drain the mutton pieces well.
2. Cook the Mutton:
   • In a large karahi or wok, heat the oil or ghee over medium heat.
   • Add the finely sliced onions and sauté until golden brown.
   • Add the ginger-garlic paste and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add Spices and Tomatoes:
   • Add the cumin seeds, crushed coriander seeds, and crushed black peppercorns. Sauté for a minute.
   • Add the chopped tomatoes and green chilies. Cook until the tomatoes soften and the oil begins to separate from the masala.
4. Cook the Mutton:
   • Add the mutton pieces to the karahi. Cook on high heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the meat changes color and is well coated with the masala.
   • Add the red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well.
5. Simmer the Mutton:
   • Reduce the heat to low, cover the karahi, and let the mutton cook in its own juices for about 45-60 minutes, or until the meat is tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. If needed, add a little water to prevent burning.
6. Finish the Dish:
   • Once the mutton is tender and the gravy is thickened, sprinkle garam masala powder over the top and mix well.
   • Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and ginger slices.
7. Serve:
   • Serve hot with naan, roti, or steamed rice.
   • Accompany with lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor.

Enjoy your Authentic Mutton Karahi, a rich and flavorful dish that is sure to impress!
