Kumaoni Mutton

Bone-in local hill goat cooked in mustard oil with a restrained spice blend — whole cumin, dry red chillies, turmeric, and coriander — slow-simmered until the meat is tender and the thin gravy turns dark and fragrant. The absence of cream, excessive spicing, or tomato is what marks this as distinctly Kumaoni, relying instead on the natural sweetness of the mountain goat.
