Next add the grated onion to the pan and sauté until light golden brown in colour on low-medium heat. This will take 7-8 minutes. Keep stirring to avoid sticking

Once onion colour changes to light golden brown add tomato purée to the pan/kadai. Mix well and keep stirring for 3-4 mins on low-medium heat

To the pan add turmeric powder. Mix well and stir for a minute

Next add the green purée mix/paste to the pan/kadai. Mix well and cook for another 10 - 12 mins on low-medium heat until water evaporates. keep stirring to avoid burning/sticking of the masala

Next, add the boiled mutton to the pan. Mix well with the masala. Then add boiled mutton stock + salt to the pan and mix well. Cover and cook for 10-15 mins on low-medium heat

Once gravy thickened add heavy cream to the pan/kadai. Mix well and switch off the gas
