  •  Add Meat masala (this is optional but adds so much more flavour)- you can use MDH meat masala which is easily available in asian stores, or order it online at amazon- link is in my sidebar.Add slit green chillies, and coriander. Let the mutton cook for 10-15 minutes, and any water that is left has dried completely.
