Cooking the Spices:
Into a pan add 3 tbsp of mustard oil. Once it is heated add rest of the chopped onions, ginger and garlic, Add all the spices, and 1 tbs of salt or salt as per your taste. Fry them for sometime say about a minute or so. Once they change in color and looks little fried add 3 cups of water and let it boil. Boil for sometime.
Combine:
Once the water has reduced a little and you see change in texture add the cooked mutton pieces into the prepared spices along with water that has been used to cook the mutton. Now just leave it to boil for at-least 20 minutes or as long as you see the gravy/curry gets thicker.
Note: For sometime let it boil uncovered and then cover it with a lid. Keep the flame medium to high.
Once you see the gravy looks good add 1/2 a cup of whipped yogurt into it and stir.
Add 1 tbs of non spicy chili powder
Cook another few minutes by covering the lid.
Final step: Into a small pan add one tsp of oil and heat. Put 1 tbs of fennel seeds into it and let it splatter. Then add some thin sliced pieces of ginger and sauté. Add them into the mutton gravy/curry and give it a mix. Cover again and let it simmer 1 minute and you are done.
