2–3 tbsp mustard oil (or ghee)

½ tsp garam masala
Salt to taste

Add pureed tomatoes and cook till oil separates.
Stir in turmeric, coriander powder, fennel, dry ginger, and red chilli powder.
Add mutton pieces and sear well on high flame.
Lower the flame, add whisked curd gradually while stirring to avoid curdling.
