1Dry roast stone flower, caraway seeds, cumin seeds, desiccated coconut, cinnamon, coriander seeds, star anise, nutmeg, green & black cardamom, mace, cloves and bay leaves on low flame for 2.5 minutes. Add kasoori methi and roast for another 20 seconds.
2Add the roasted spices, boiled onions, boiled-skinless-tomatoes, soaked byadagi chillies, soaked cashew nuts and soaked-skinless-almonds. Blend into a fine paste adding a bit of water.
3Marinate mutton in a Kadhai/pot with finely chopped onions, chopped mint & coriander leaves, curd, ghee, oil, the prepared paste, salt, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, garam masala powder, black pepper powder, fennel powder and ginger garlic paste. Let it sit for 20-30 minutes.
4Place the Kadhai on high flame and seal it to prevent steam from escaping. Cook the mutton on dum for 5 minutes on high, then for about an hour on low, shaking regularly to prevent sticking. If your Kadhai doesn’t have a heavy bottom, place a tava under it.
5Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and add Dhungaar for 3-4 minutes, then turn off the flame.
