Add cinnamon stick, bay leaves, elachie and star anise to a pot with oil. Fry on medium heat for 2-3 minutes

Step 2

Add onions, curry sprig and fennel seeds to pot and fry until the onions are translucent. Add ginger and garlic paste and allow to fry for a further minute.

Step 3

Add the masala spices, turmeric and ground coriander. Add the mutton and fry for 5 minutes, ensuring the spices are fully coating the meat. Add a few drops of water to the pot if needed.

Step 4

Add the tomatoes and allow to cook on low heat while covered for 30 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 5

While the curry is cooking, boil the potatoes in some salted water until soft. Once softened, add to the curry with one cup of the water the potatoes boiled in.
