Method
Blend the shallots, garlic and ginger into a paste, and cut the mutton and potatoes into chunks.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan and fry the paste, curry leaves and cinnamon stick until fragrant.
Stir in the curry powder and cook for 2 minutes until toasted.
Add the mutton and turn to coat well in the spices, searing lightly.
Add the tomatoes, coconut milk and water, and bring to the boil.
Reduce to a simmer, cover and braise for 90 minutes until the mutton is tender.
Add the potatoes and continue simmering for 20 minutes until tender.
Insert a meat thermometer into a piece of mutton; it should read at least 90 degrees Celsius and pull apart easily before serving.
