3. Add 0.5 tsp of turmeric powder, 2 tbsp of ginger-garlic paste, and 1 sprig of curry leaves. Sauté until the raw smell of the ginger-garlic paste disappears.
4. Add 1 kg of mutton pieces to the pot. Fry for 5-6 minutes until the mutton changes color.
5. Add 3 slit green chilies. Cover the pot with a lid and cook for 10 minutes.
6. While the mutton cooks, prepare the special masala. In a separate pan, dry roast 0.25 cup of grated dried coconut, 2 tbsp of coriander seeds, 1 tsp of cumin seeds, 1 tsp of black peppercorns, 1 tsp of shahi jeera, 0.25 piece of nutmeg, 1 small strand of mace, 1 inch cinnamon stick, 5 cloves, 3 green cardamom, and 1 black cardamom until fragrant.

12. Garnish with 0.25 cup of fresh chopped coriander leaves before serving.
