Mutton Karahi — Tribal Cookbook recipe

Ingredients

4 servings

Method

Start cooking opens one step at a time with read-aloud and hands-free voice control — “next”, “repeat”, “how much salt”, “timer 10 minutes”.

Tips

Control the heat: remove the chilli seeds for mild, keep them for medium, add a pinch of chilli flakes at the end for hot. Get ahead: most of the prep can be done the night before, and the dish is often better reheated the next day. Cook the tomatoes down until the oil separates at the edges — that's when the masala is ready.
