Clean the mutton trotters thoroughly and soak them in water for 30 minutes.

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

Add sliced onions and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in minced ginger and garlic, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add chopped tomatoes and green chilies, cooking until tomatoes soften, about 3-4 minutes.

Mix in the spices and salt, stirring for another minute to release their aroma.

Add the cleaned trotters to the pot and stir to coat them in the mixture.

Pour in enough water to cover the trotters and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2-3 hours until the trotters are tender.

Once cooked, remove from heat and let cool slightly before straining the broth.

Return the broth to the pot, adding lemon juice and garam masala to taste.

Serve hot, garnished with chopped coriander and mint leaves.
