Combining rich mutton with zesty sorrel leaves

  1. Start by boiling 250g of mutton with turmeric, salt and ginger-garlic paste.
  2. Heat two tablespoons of refined oil in a separate pan, then sauté six cloves, three cardamoms, and one stick of cinnamon until fragrant.
  3. Add three tablespoons of chopped onions and cook until translucent. Incorporate 100g of gongura leaves and spices like red chilli powder and coriander powder.
  4. Finally, mix in the boiled meat, add water, and simmer for about 5 minutes. Serve hot with rice for a delightful meal

Special Tips:
