Wash the mutton with tap water and add vinegar to cut the rawness, then give it a final rinse.

Mix two tablespoons of meat seasoning and one tablespoon of all-purpose seasoning into the mutton.

Add one tablespoon of finely chopped fresh ginger and one tablespoon of fresh garlic to the mutton.

Incorporate pimento seeds, chopped onion, chopped scallions, thyme, and scotch bonnet pepper into the mutton.

Set the seasoned mutton aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Heat one tablespoon of cooking oil in a pot to burn the curry, using a small amount due to the fat content in the mutton.

Mix the burnt curry into the mutton and cover the pot to allow the mutton to spring its own water for about 5 minutes.

Add hot water to the pot with the mutton and allow it to cook, stewing rather than boiling, for approximately 2.5 to 3 hours until tender.

After the mutton is tender, add the carrots and potatoes, cooking for roughly 5 minutes to keep the veggies crunchy and not mushy.

Taste the meat and gravy, adjusting seasoning or salt as needed.
