This traditional recipe highlights the depth of flavour that comes from slow cooking. Mutton pieces are first seared, then simmered gently with onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and a blend of spices. The long cooking time allows the meat to become tender while the curry develops a deep, aromatic richness. Served with rice or naan, itโs a comforting dish perfect for family meals.
