Instructions
-
Prepare the Laal Maas Masala:
- Soak the Kashmiri red chillies in water for approximately 10 minutes.
- In a saucepan, bring water to a rolling boil, reduce the heat, and add the Kashmiri red chillies, cumin seeds, black cardamom, green cardamom, cinnamon stick, cloves, and bay leaf.
- Allow the spices to simmer for about 5-7 minutes, then remove from heat and drain excess water (reserve the water for later).
- Once cool, grind the boiled spices into a smooth paste with a small amount of reserved water. Set aside the prepared Laal Maas Masala.
-
Marinate the Mutton:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the washed and cleaned mutton with yogurt, Laal Maas Masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, salt, and ginger garlic paste.
- Massage the marinade into the mutton, cover, and allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Cook the Laal Maas Masala Curry:
- In a heavy-bottomed pan (kadai), heat ghee on medium flame. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they turn a deep golden brown, which takes around 10 minutes.
- Add the ginger-garlic paste to the browned onions and sauté for another minute.
- Add the marinated mutton with the marinade to the pan, seasoning with additional salt as needed. Pour in 1/2 cup of water and cook on low-medium heat for 25 minutes or until the mutton is 85% cooked.
- Prepare the smoking charcoal by heating it until it glows red. Place the charcoal in a small bowl (katori), add 2 cloves, and place it in the center of the laal maas pan.
- Pour a teaspoon of ghee over the hot charcoal, cover the pan with a lid, and let the smoke infuse the dish for 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the charcoal, add garam masala, and mix. Set aside.
