- ¼ tsp Turmeric
For the masala sauce
- 1½ tbsp Oil we use rapeseed oil
- 2 green Cardamoms

- 2 green Chillies
- 1 large Tomato skinned and deseeded
- 2 tsp Garam Masala
- 125 ml Water

Marinade the Mutton
Marinate the mutton in the yoghurt, ginger and garlic paste, turmeric and chilli powder
Leave to marinate for as long as possible, preferably overnight. Get the mutton out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before you are going to cook it
Make the curry
Heat the oil in the pan cook the bay leaf, cinnamon and cardamom for 2 minutes
Add the onions and green chillies. Cook until the onions are golden but not burnt
Lower the heat to as low as possible and add the marinated mutton and sauté for 5-7 minutes
Cover and cook for 10 minutes. When you see the moisture begin to release add the garam masala and bay leaf and sauté for another 3 minutes
Add the tomato and saute until the raw smell of tomato has disappeared. This will take about 5-7 minutes
Cook the curry in a preheated over for 3 hours. Serve with roti or rice if you must!
