Ingredients:

• 1 kg mutton, cut into pieces
• 1 kg onions, sliced
• 12 green chillies, ground
• 10 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 big piece ginger, crushed
• 1/2 cup oil
• 2 tbsp ghee
• 4 cups basmati rice, soaked in water for 10 minutes
• 8 cups hot water
• Salt to taste
• 1 tsp cumin seeds

• 2 cloves 
• 1 stick cinnamon

Green Masala

• 1 bunch coriander leaves
• 2 tbsp grated coconut
• 12 almonds
• 2 tsp garam masala
• 2 tbsp yoghurt
• 1 tsp lemon

Method:

Heat oil in a heavy-based pan or pressure cooker and saute three-fourths of the onion. When onion turns glassy, add ginger, garlic and ground chilli. Stir for one minutes. Add mutton and salt. Cook for 30 minutes on a low flame. If you cook in a pressure cooker, you don't need to add water, otherwise ensure there is enough water for the mutton to cook. Meanwhile, grind all.

Note: Pappadoms and yoghurt raita make great accompaniments.
