Method:
- Set a large pan over high heat & once it gets hot add the oil & let the oil heat it up as well.
- Once the oil get hot, lower the flame & add cinnamon, green cardamom, black cardamom, black peppercorns, star anise, cloves, cumin seeds, caraway seeds, coriander seeds, nutmeg & mace, stir well & then add byadgi red chillies, rice, roasted chana dal, bay leaf & cook the whole spices over medium low flame for 3-4 minutes.
- Further add stone flower, poppy seeds & white sesame seeds, stir & cook further for 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer the whole spices into a bowl & set them aside to cool down.
- Add some more oil into the same pan & add the sliced onions, stir & cook them over high flame until they turn light golden brown & then transfer them into a bowl & set it aside.
- Lastly char the dry coconut over direct flame using a pair of tongs or a fork, then place it onto a chopping board & cut in into small pieces once cooled.
- Once the spices & onions cool down to room temperature, add them into a mixer grinder jar along with the chopped dry coconut, add some water & grind everything into a fine paste, donтАЩt add a lot of water this paste needs to be thick.
- Add the garlic, ginger & fresh coriander in a mixer grinder jar along with some water & grind it into a fine liquidy paste.
- Set a handi or any heavy bottomed vessel over high flame & add oil, once the oil gets hot add the garlic & ginger paste, stir well & cook for 2-3 minutes over high flame.
- Then lower the flame & add turmeric powder & spicy red chilli powder, stir well & immediately add the prepared paste, stir well & cook until the oil get separated, the paste will darken in colour & turn crumbly, this process will take upto 15 minutes, make sure you keep stirring the masala.
- Once the paste turns crumbly & all the oil gets separated, add the mutton, stir well to coat it with the masala & cook over high flame for 5-6 minutes.
- Further place a large parat on the handi to cover it & pour water into it, lower the flame & cook the mutton until it releases it water, this process will take around 10-12 minutes.
- Once all the water from the mutton is released, add the heated-up water from the parat into the handi & stir well, the consistency of the mutton should be semi thick.
- then place the parat back to cover the handi & pour fresh water into it.
- Cook the mutton over low flame until its tender, the cooking time will depend on the quality of the mutton.
- You will need to stir twice or thrice throughout the process, make sure you donтАЩt remove the lid frequently.
- Once the mutton has cooked, taste the gravy & adjust the salt if required.
- You can adjust the consistency of the gravy at this stage, you like it a bit thicker then cook it over high flame until the desired consistency or if you like it a bit thinner then add hot water as required & cook for 4-5 minutes.
- Lastly add fresh coriander & stir.
- Your hot, spicy & flavorful saoji mutton is ready
