For the mutton marination, add beaten curd to the mutton, raw papaya paste, ginger garlic paste, garam masala, lemon juice, and salt.

Let the mutton marinate for 3 hours.

For fried barista or onion, slice your 2 onions thinly and demarcate the slices.

Add oil in karahi or pan and fry your sliced onion into finely brown color

Make sure you do not burn the onions. So, fry them in small batches so as to avoid producing lumpy and messy onion when you fry all together.

Ensure the entire sliced onion is fried in deep oil. So, you can add more oil if need. Continue to stir to get even brown color.

With a ladle or slotted spoon, take the onion out.

Place them inside a paper towel.

For cooking the mutton, inside the thick bottomed pan, heat your ghee.

Put in sliced onions that remained as well as green chilies. Fry and continuously stir to until formed golden brown color.

Add your ginger-garlic paste and stir very well.

Put in the marinated mutton and cook on the flame to about 7 -8 minutes.

Now add coriander powder, red chili powder, and cumin powder. Ensure you stir vigorously.

Pour in 3 cups of water and bring the mixture to boil, decrease the heat and cook until the mutton is about to do.

Put in tomatoes, fresh coriander leaves garam masala powder and salt.

Cook for about 15 minutes using medium heat and stir occasionally. The meat should not have watery gravy and you have to separate ghee from the spices.
