Well the name says it all , Bhuna means roast and gosht means mutton . The more you roast the spices with onions and Mutton pieces , the better it tastes .  

The best way of cooking mutton meat , be it boneless or with bones is to cook by slow cooking method , in the thick gravy made out of onions and tomatoes and other spices roasted in oil . But if you are running late , then you can pre boil the mutton pieces in little water with some ginger garlic paste and salt . But I would suggest you to make by slow cooking method .
Here is the recipe of Bhuna Gosht .

500 gms lamb boneless meat

5. Now add peeled and chopped tomatoes , salt , turmeric powder , coriander powder and red chilly powder .
6. Stir and keep on low flame flame until the oil seperates .
7. Now add 1 cup of water and keep on slow flame until the mutton has cooked . ( here in this step , mutton will take some time to cook , so in between keep a check on it and if needed add little water time to time so that it does not stick at the bottom ) 
8. Off the gas , add curd and stir well .
9. Turn on the gas and add chopped green chilies , cumin powder , garam masala powder . 
10. Mix well , let it simmer on low flame until oil separates .
