To a heated pan, add oil, finely sliced onions, tomatoes and ginger-garlic paste, and sauté them.
Add turmeric powder, chilli powder, coriander powder, salt and garam masala to the same pan and combine well.
Add the prepped mutton cubes to the pan and stir everything together until the meat is coated with the spice mixture.
In a separate pan, roast cashews, peppercorns, cumin, fennel, curry leaves, red onions, and grated coconut.
Once roasted, remove the mixture from heat and blend it until smooth.
Add the blended cashew mixture to the mutton mixture and combine while cooking.
Add water to cover the mutton, close the pan with a lid, and let it simmer gently.
