Coconut oil adds flavor while being a healthier fat.

Add 6 tablespoons of coconut oil to a large pot and heat it up.

Add dried red chili, a piece of cinnamon, 2 teaspoons of black peppercorns, 10 green cardamoms, 2 teaspoons of cumin seeds, and a few pieces of star anise to the pot.

Add 2 kg of mutton to the pot and cook for 6-7 minutes on above medium heat to start developing flavors.

Add 3 cups of onions and salt to the pot, along with fresh chilies, and cook for another 5-6 minutes.

Stir in 1 cup of garlic ginger paste and mix well.

Add 3 cups of fresh tomatoes and 1 liter of water to the pot, stirring to combine.

Let the mixture cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down.

Add 1 tablespoon each of turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, cumin powder, and coriander powder to the pot, along with 5 cups of cooked chickpeas, and mix well.

Reduce the heat to just above a simmer, cover the pot, and let it cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Check the lamb for tenderness; it should be beautifully tender after cooking.

Finish by adding 1 cup of fresh cilantro, checking for salt, and mixing everything together.
