Notes

  1. Kashmiri dry red chilies mainly add the fiery red color. It doesn’t add a lot of heat.
  2. If you cant find the dry chilies, you can use chilli powder or just leave it out!
    Fresh Curry leaves are a must for this recipe.
  3. For best results (especially if using bone in meat), marinade the mutton for 30 minutes - 3 hours.
  4. Make sure your spices are fresh and by that I mean they shouldn’t be older than a year.
