Method:

Mix mutton with curd and salt and keep aside for 30 min.

Put marinated mutton, onion, garlic paste, ginger paste, red chillies and oil in a thick bottomed pan.

Cook it uncovered on medium heat for 5 min.

Add cumin, cloves, green and black cardamoms and 1cup water.

Cover the pan with a lid and seal it with kneaded flour.

Cook it for 45min on a very low flame. There will be cracks on flour dough.

Cut off the flour dough and remove the lid.

If there is still some water, cook it on high flame until gravy thickens.

Do not stir hard.

Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot.
