Matan, also known as Mutton Curry, is a traditional dish from the Kashmir valley in Northern India. It is a delicious and flavorful dish made from a mixture of mutton pieces and a blend of spices. The curry is slow-cooked for more than two hours to tenderize the meat and blend the flavors, which makes the dish even more delectable. It is typically served with plain rice or naan bread.

Heat mustard oil in a large pan and add the chopped onions. Cook until they turn golden brown.
Add the ginger-garlic paste and green chilies. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add the mutton pieces and cook until they are browned on all sides.

Add 2 cups of water, salt, and garam masala powder. Cover the pan and let the curry simmer for about 2 hours.
Check the mutton occasionally and stir to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
The Matan is ready when the mutton is tender and the gravy is thick.
