Finely chop the onion and tomato. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle for about 30 seconds.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.
Add ginger garlic paste and sauté for another minute until the raw smell disappears.
Add chopped tomato and cook until it turns soft and oil starts to separate from the mixture.
Mix in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Stir well.
Increase the heat to high and add lean ground mutton. Break up any clumps with a spoon.
Cook the mutton until it changes color and all the moisture is absorbed, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the low-fat yogurt and stir well to combine. Reduce the heat to medium.
Add the green peas and pour in water. Stir everything together.
Cover the pan with a lid and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the mutton is tender and cooked through.
Open the lid and add garam masala. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes until the flavors are well combined.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot with rice or roti.
