Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, combine the mutton, black pepper, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
  • Add the coconut oil and water to a 2-liter pressure cooker. This helps create steam for even cooking.
  • Add the diced shallots, curry leaves, and slit green chilies to the pressure cooker.
  • Add the marinated mutton to the pressure cooker.

  • Close the pressure cooker lid securely. Cook on high heat for 10-15 whistles. The cooking time may vary depending on your pressure cooker and the tenderness of the mutton. If you notice a slightly smoky smell, turn off the heat immediately.
  • Allow the pressure to release naturally. Once the pressure is released, open the lid carefully.
  • Mix in the garam masala. This adds a final layer of flavor and aroma.
  • Serve the mutton chukka hot. For a refreshing side, consider a salad of microgreens, cucumber, and onions.
