Clean and trim any visible fat from the mutton pieces to ensure lean meat.
In a bowl, marinate the mutton with yogurt, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, garam masala, ginger-garlic paste, and salt. Mix well to coat the mutton evenly. Set aside for 30 minutes (or longer for deeper flavor).
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a non-stick pan or deep skillet over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds, and let them splutter for a few seconds.
Add the curry leaves, green chilies, and sliced onions. Sauté until the onions become golden brown.
Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and the oil begins to separate.
Add the marinated mutton to the pan and mix well with the onion-tomato base.
Pour in 250 ml of water. Cover the pan with a lid and cook on low-medium heat for about 30-35 minutes (stir occasionally) or until the mutton is tender and the water has evaporated.
Increase the heat to medium-high and fry the mutton, stirring constantly, until it is well-coated with the spices and lightly browned.
Adjust salt if needed and garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice, roti, or as a protein dish in a low-carb meal.
