Ingredients
- 1 kg Goat or Lamb curry pieces
- 1/2 cup Mustard Oil
- 1 tbs Ghee
- 1/2 cup Yogurt
- 1/4 tsp Asafoetida
- 1/2 tsp Cumin
- 6-8 pieces Cloves
- 2 nos Bay leaves

Instructions
- Wash the meat well, and keep it aside till extra water drains off.

- Mix the meat with yogurt, and put it in the pan on a full flame for frying.
- Stir it time to time so that it does not stick to the pot, till the moisture from the yogurt evaporates.
- Now add asafoetida, salt, cumin, cloves and continue frying on low flame till it turns brown.
- Add Kashmiri red chilli powder and stir till deep red colour along with oil appears. Care should be taken so that the chilli powder does not burn. ( you can avoid this by adding little quantity of water from time to time as necessary.)
- Add two glasses of water and add bay leaves, fennel powder, dry ginger powder, cinnamon pieces, crushed black cardamom and stir it again so as to mix the ingredients properly.
- Cover it with a lid and allow it to cook till tender, on low flame.
- Put garam masala, crushed green cardamom, and ghee and let it boil for two minutes.
