For Making Gravy:
- In a pan heat some oil, add some mustard seeds 2 bay leaves and add some shallots (small onions) Shallots adds a unique taste to the mutton curry.Especially in Chettinad Cuisines they use shallots than regular onions add some salt and cook for 2 minutes once the shallots are golden add ginger garlic paste and cook for two more minutes
- Add chopped tomato and then add the masalas turmeric powder, chili powder and also add the freshly ground chettinad masala(in step 1)
