- Take a pan and add some ghee to it. Once it is hot, lower the flame and add the whole spices such as the bay leaf, cinnamon, cardamom and clove. Sauté for a minute and then add the red chillies.
- Add the mutton to the pan and sauté. Then add turmeric and salt. Sauté the mutton on medium-high flame for 4-5 minutes. Then lower the flame, cover the pan and let the mutton cook until it softens. Add a little water if required.
- Take curd in a small bowl and whip it nicely. Lower the flame and add the curd in the pan. Then add the fennel powder and dry ginger powder. Mix the ingredients gently.
- Now as the mutton is about to be cooked, add the red chilli powder, and saffron-infused milk. Stir for a few more minutes. Switch off the flame and serve it hot.
