Heat ghee in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Add sliced onions and sauté until golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.

Stir in ginger and garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Add mutton pieces and sear until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Mix in yogurt, stirring to coat the meat evenly.

Add cumin, coriander, turmeric, red chili powder, and salt, mixing well.

Cover and cook on low heat for 1-1.5 hours, stirring occasionally, until mutton is tender.

Add cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, and bay leaves, stirring to combine.

Pour in a little water if needed to prevent sticking, and simmer for an additional 20-30 minutes.

Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary before serving.
