1
Phase 1
Simmer the minced mutton with the chana dal, onion, ginger-garlic paste, and dried red chilies in 1 cup water until the dal is soft and the water has evaporated.

Cool the mixture, then grind it with the garam masala and salt into a smooth, sticky paste without adding any water.

Phase 3
Refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes so it firms up and is easy to shape.
