Notes

  1. You can skip the part of marination, and can cook directly. In that case let it cook for few more minutes as lamb / mutton will take little more time being cooked perfect.
  2. Always stir the gravy to its first boil after adding yogurt, as it helps yogurt to mix well and stop from curdling.
  3. Time to cook lamb properly varies as it depends on how fresh and tender raw lamb is. So always check about the tenderness of mutton while being cooked, before switching off heat.
