Notes
The gravy of railway mutton curry uses a lot of onions. So, be generous with it.
Fry the mutton initially for about 10 to 12 minutes until it changes its color.
Adjust red chili powder according to your tolerance.
I always add lukewarm water. This helps maintain the temperature and ensures proper cooking of mutton.
Cook the mutton on a low flame after adding water.
