I highly recommend using a 'meat masala' which really takes the guesswork out of this, and I used Lala's Mutton Curry masala for this one. You can go ahead and try Shaan as well, a brand which make fantastic masalas. Based on a traditional Pahadi family recipe, this curry is spicy and full of flavor. Try this recipe and you will love it! Serve with basmati rice or Chapati and any other curried dish.
