Method
 

Step 1: Preparation
  1. Heat oil in a large karahi or wok over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until they are translucent and starting to brown.
  2. Add the ginger garlic paste and sauté for another minute, until fragrant.
Step 2: Marinating the Mutton
  1. In a large bowl, combine the mutton pieces, salt, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and garam masala powder. Mix well to coat the mutton evenly.
  2. Let the mutton marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Step 3: Cooking the Mutton
  1. Add the marinated mutton to the karahi or wok and sauté until it is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add 1/2 cup of water to the karahi or wok and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, until the mutton is tender and the sauce has thickened, about 20-25 minutes.
  3. Stir in the lemon juice and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Step 4: Finishing Touches
  1. Garnish the Shinwari Mutton Karahi with julienned ginger, chopped cilantro, and serve with naan, rice, or roti.
