Method

1. In a large pan, combine the mutton, chopped onions, tomatoes, ginger-garlic paste, and green chilies (ground together).
2. Add red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, turmeric, and chili flakes. Add a little water, mix well, cover, and cook until the meat is tender.
3. Wash and dry the karela (bitter gourd).
4. Heat a little oil in a separate pan and fry the karela.
5. Once the color changes slightly, add lightly chopped onions and cook on low heat. Do not brown the onions too much.
6. When the mutton is cooked, allow any excess water to dry slightly.
7. Place a strainer over the meat pan and pour the fried karela and onions into it, letting the oil drain into the meat. Use this flavored oil to fry the meat further.
8. Once the meat is nicely fried, add the karela mixture back into the pan.
9. Mix everything well and cook on low heat (“dum”) for a few minutes.
10. Garnish with fresh coriander.
