Method

1. Grind all of the spices, ginger, garlic and tamarind with the vinegar in a pestle and mortar to make a smooth paste.

2. Rub a little of the spice paste and a splash of water onto the mutton and leave for 15 minutes.

3. Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the onions for about 15-20 minutes, or until brown. Add the remaining spice paste and fry for a further 5 minutes, stirring continuously. Add a couple of tablespoons of water if the mixture starts to dry out.

4. Add the mutton and fry in the spice mixture for 5 minutes. Add 800ml of water, salt, to taste, and the jaggery. Simmer over a low heat until tender. Stir in the curry leaves and simmer for 3-4 minutes.

5. Serve with boiled rice
