Blend the chopped tomatoes and green chilies into a smooth paste.

Add the tomato-chili paste to the mutton and mix well.

Add 1 tablespoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1/2 teaspoon of red chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of coriander powder. Mix well and sauté the spices for a few minutes.
