  4. 4Stir in curry powder, cumin, and coriander, coating the mutton evenly.
  5. 5Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they break down, about 3 minutes.

💡 Mutton needs time for its connective tissue to soften. If the sauce is ready but the meat still feels chewy, continue the gentle simmer before adding more liquid.
