Step-by-Step Instructions

Heat mustard oil in a heavy pot until smoking, then let cool slightly (or use pure desi ghee). Add black cardamom, green cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, and bay leaf.

Add mutton pieces and sear on high heat with a splash of hing water until meat turns light golden.

Lower flame. Add Kashmiri red chili powder dissolved in 2 tbsp water to prevent burning, stirring constantly as meat turns ruby red.

Whisk curd thoroughly and add in a slow stream, stirring continuously on low heat until fully incorporated and ghee separates.

Add aromatic fennel powder (saunf) and dry ginger powder (saunth) with salt; stir for 2 minutes.

Add 2 cups warm water and strained saffron extract. Cover tightly and simmer on low heat (dum) for 45 minutes until mutton is spoon-tender. Serve with steamed rice.
