- Once its cooked properly, switch off the flame and garnish with coriander leaves. Enjoy it with Rumali Roti / Naan / Rice of your choice.
Notes
- You can marinade the mutton for longer depending upon how much time you have. The longer its left for marination, less time it will take to cook and having more flavours till deep inside.
- Always heat the mustard oil till its smoking point in the first instance otherwise the lamb will smell more of mustard oil after cooking, if not heated properly.
- You can always adjust the level of spice according to your taste. But this recipe is more authentic with right level of spices.
- Always dry roast the spices on low heat otherwise they will be burnt.
- You can use same recipe for Achari Paneer or Achari Chicken, replacing lamb with paneer or chicken respectively.
