can we make this with mutton?
Nishant Khade
You will have to make a few changes:
1. Marinate for at least 1-2 hours or overnight if possible.
2. Cook the mutton until it is 85% cooked before adding the chilli-garlic mixture.

I've tried it. I like the flavor. Though it is spicy. I added a little cream and use coconut water instead of plain water. Taste great. THanks.

Hello Krishna, we love Indian food and go often to The Bombay Spice Rest in Hengelo Ov The Netherlands. We like to trie to make it selves. Sometimes it will be very good. Today we tried this recipe and I think we did something wrong. The taste was not so smooth and rich we like. The color was more Brown than Red. We made it whit chicken. You have a nice smooth and thick Garlic and Chile mix. We had it nearly wiht-blanc with some red. We will do it again on a other time.

Try adding some pureed tomatoes to get a more red colour. Add it to the onions once they have turned golden and cook on high for several minutes stirring constantly. Than continue with the recipe ...

So the red chili powder is Kashmiri Chili powder along with the dried Kashmiri chilis?
Natasha
Hi. When it says, yogurt. Is this just plain, regular unflavored yogurt?
