Add the bone-in lamb or mutton and lightly fry. Add the salt, garlic paste and ginger paste. Mix well. Add the water, cover and simmer until the meat is about 80% tender. Halve the tomatoes without chopping them. Place them cut-side down over the meat, cover and cook until their skins soften. Carefully remove the tomato skins using tongs. Mash the softened tomatoes into the gravy and mix thoroughly with the meat. Add the black pepper and cook over medium-high heat, stirring continuously as the tomatoes break down and the gravy thickens. Add the crushed black pepper and mix well. Garnish with julienned fresh ginger and green chillies. Cover briefly and continue cooking until the oil separates from the gravy. Serve hot. The key technique Keep the tomatoes whole until they soften under the lid. Removing their skins and mashing them into the gravy helps create a smoother, thicker finish without chopping the tomatoes beforehand. Serving suggestion Serve hot with naan or roti, if desired.
