Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the mutton pieces on all sides until golden brown. Do this in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot. Remove the browned mutton and set aside.

Return the browned mutton to the pot. Pour in the water or broth and add the bouillon cube, if using. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for at least 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the mutton is very tender.

Stir in the cayenne pepper and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for another 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
