Maharashtrian Mutton Curry

Bone-in mutton slow-cooked in a dark, thick gravy built on a base of caramelised onions, roasted dried coconut, and a freshly ground goda masala — Maharashtra's distinctive blend of dried flowers (naag kesar), cinnamon, cloves, sesame, and dried coconut. The coconut is always roasted to a dark brown before grinding, giving the curry its characteristic dark colour and deep, nutty aroma.
