Cookd masalas for mutton (boneless)
Method
Blend the onion, ginger, and garlic into a fine paste.
Heat ghee in a kadhai and add the whole spices, saute until aromatic. Add the mutton and cook until all the liquid has evaporated, stirring often.
Add the salt and garam masala. Add the onion paste and cook on a medium flame until no longer raw in the aroma.
Add the green chillies and the powdered spices. Saute until the oil starts to separate and the masalas are cooked.
Simmer the flame, add the corn kernels, the whisked curd, salt, cashew nut paste, and water just enough to cover the meat level. Mix well to combine.
Simmer covered until thickened slightly and the meat is tender for about 40 mins.
Finish with garam masala, ghee, fresh cream, chopped coriander, and ginger julienne.
