Hara Mutton Chops

To prepare Hara Mutton Chops, start by making a smooth ginger-garlic paste in a grinder. Then, blend onions, coriander, mint leaves, green chilies, and cloves with a little water to create a green paste. Heat oil in a cooker, add bay leaf, cardamom, and star anise, followed by the ginger-garlic paste. Once the raw aroma dissipates, stir in the green paste. Add cleaned mutton, salt, garam masala, and coriander powder, then close the lid and cook until you hear 2 whistles, adjusting the time as needed for the mutton to be tender.
