Mutton Masala

== Ingredients ==
* 2 lb boneless mutton / lamb, cut into 1-inch cubes
* 1 large onion, sliced
* 1 tbsp tomato paste
* 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste (I just take equal amounts of ginger and garlic and make a paste of it)
* 2 – 3 green chillies, finely chopped
* 1 tsp cumin seeds
* 1 cinnamon stick
* 6 – 7 whole peppercorns
* 7 – 8 cloves
* ¼ tsp turmeric powder
* 1 tsp coriander powder
* ½ tsp red chili powder
* salt, to taste
* 2 tbsp cooking oil
* fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped for garnish
== Directions ==
# Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds. Once it starts to sizzle, add in sliced onions and fry till slightly brown.
# Add in meat pieces, chopped green chillies and ginger-garlic paste, and fry for 3 – 4 minutes.
# Add salt, red chili powder, turmeric powder and coriander powder and let all spices blend in well.
# Once meat starts to brown, add tomato paste, cinnamon stick, peppercorns and cloves, and saute for 2 – 3 minutes.
# Add water and cover cook for 30 – 35 minutes or till meat tenderizes. You can add more water, bit by bit, to prevent it from drying up.
# Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot!
