Preparation Steps
  1. Prepare the Masala Paste by boiling the whole dry Kashmiri red chilies until they soften, then blend with other spices until smooth.
  2. Marinate the meat by combining mutton with masala paste, lemon juice, thick curd, and salt, and let it marinate.
  3. Cook the meat in ghee over medium-high heat until browned and the oil separates from the masala.
  4. Sim with what's left, ensuring the meat is tender and the gravy is thick.
  5. Serve the dish hot with Missi roti, naan, or rice.
