Shaheen… awesome recipe. I tried it yesterday and the results were amazing. Use of whole garlic pods is such a nice twist (although I slightly crushed the garlic, like once with the rolling pin) but lip smacking flavour. Thanks.

I am looking for a mutton recipe with thin gravy.. would you know one?

Amazing recipe! I tried this using beef instead of mutton, and it was fantastic! Will definitely do a mutton version soon. ☺️
