Step 1
Make masala seasoning by combining coconut, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, poppy seeds, peppercorns, and cloves in a dry, heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir until toasted and golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Transfer toasted seeds to a blender. Add 1/4 cup water, garlic, and ginger. Blend until combined and set aside.

Step 4
Stir in crushed tomatoes; cook for 5 minutes. Add yogurt; cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add mutton and remaining 1/4 cup water. Reduce heat to low and cook until mutton is tender, 1 to 2 hours.
