Instructions
 

  • Marinate the mutton with all ingredients listed under First Marinade. Refrigerate overnight.
  • Remove from the refrigerator, allow to return to room temperature, now add all of the ingredients listed under Second Marinade. Give it a hearty mix. Keep aside, an hour or so.
  • Transfer the mutton along with the marinade to a heavy bottomed pan, cover and cook, with occasional stirring, over a low flame till the mutton is about 75% cooked. About 1 hour, I would reckon.
  • Gently pour the milk over the mutton, continue to cook over a low flame till the mutton is tender. Another 30 mins or so.
  • Now pour the reduced milk, throw in the green chilies and give it a hearty stir. Cook for another 8-10 odd minutes.
  • Adjust seasonings, finish with a generous dollop of ghee.
  • Allow to rest for 15-20 minutes. Serve hot.
