Ingredients:
1 pound of boneless mutton
2 cups of water
2 tbsp of red chili powder
1 tbsp of ginger powder

1 tsp of salt
2 tbsp of ghee or clarified butter
1 tsp of cumin seeds
4-5 green cardamom pods
4-5 cloves
1 stick of cinnamon

Instructions:
In a mixing bowl, take the boneless mutton pieces and add the red chili powder, ginger powder, fennel powder, and salt. Mix well and keep it aside for 20-30 minutes.
Heat 2 cups of water in a deep pot and add the marinated mutton pieces to it. Cook for 30-40 minutes or until the mutton is tender and cooked through. Keep the broth aside.
In a pan, heat ghee or clarified butter over medium heat. Add in the cumin seeds, green cardamom pods, cloves, cinnamon sticks, and bay leaf. Fry for a minute or until the spices start to release their aroma.
Add in the finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.

In a separate bowl, mix the yogurt and saffron strands until well combined. Add this mixture to the mutton and mix well.
Simmer the mutton rista for another 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The gravy should thicken and become a vibrant red color.
Once the mutton rista is cooked, remove it from the heat and serve hot with steamed rice or naan.
