Potatoes cooked with mutton in a stew like shorba gravy. A dish loved by one and all. This aloo ghost is a pressure cooker version. It is cooked in pressure cooker so it is quick and easy and doesn’t take much of your time to cook this dish.

Mutton 300 grams

Potato 3 peeled and whole

Onion 2 chopped

Tomato 2 chopped

Dry red chilly 3 broken

Ginger garlic paste 2 tsp

Cinnamon 1 inch stick

Cardamom 3

Cloves 3

Bay leaf 1

Star anise 1 small

Chilly powder 1 tsp

Coriander powder 1 tsp

Cumin powder 1/2 tsp

Fennel powder 1/2 tsp

Turmeric powder 1 tsp

Garam Masala powder 2 tsp

Salt to taste

Mustard Oil 2-3 tbsp

Lemon juice 1 tsp

A handful chopped coriander leaves

Water as required

In a pressure cooker add the mutton and all the ingredients mentioned above except the lemon juice and coriander leaves and mix well.

Cover the cooker with a lid (do not close the pressure cooker now) and cook in low medium flame stirring in continously. Cook till the water that oozes out from the mutton dries up and oil starts to leave from sides which will take around 5-10 mins.

Now add water covering the mutton and pressure cook for 10-15 mins.

Let the pressure release by itself. Open the cooker and adjust the gravy consistency, add chopped coriander leaves and the lemon juice, give a quick stir and take off the heat.
