Method

  1. 1

    Soak the daal 30 min

    Wash the chana daal and soak it in water. It cooks faster and more evenly.

    Ready when: Grains look a little swollen.

  2. 2

    Brown the mutton 12 min

    Slice the onions. Heat the oil, fry the onions until golden, then add the mutton and fry, turning, on medium-high.

    Ready when: Meat is browned on all sides and the water from it has dried.

  3. 3

    Add the masala 8 min

    Add ginger garlic paste, turmeric, salt and chopped tomatoes. Cook, stirring, adding a splash of water if it sticks.

    Ready when: Masala is thick and oil separates at the sides.

  4. 4

    Cook the meat 40 min

    Add about 3 cups water, cover and simmer on low until the meat is almost tender. (In a pressure cooker: 20 minutes after the whistle.)

    Ready when: A fork goes into the meat with little push.

  5. 5

    Add the daal 20 min

    Drain the daal and add it with about 1 more cup of water. Cover and simmer until the daal is soft but not mushy.

    Ready when: Daal is soft and the meat is fully tender.

  6. 6

    Bhuna and finish 9 min

    Uncover, turn up the heat and stir for 3–4 minutes to thicken. Sprinkle garam masala, cover and rest 5 minutes. Serve with naan or rice.

    Ready when: Thick gravy with a layer of oil on top.
