Instructions
- Chop the Onion, Tomatoes and set asideÂ
- Grind the ginger garlic to a fine paste. Do not use the bottled/packet ones as the taste will vary
- Marinate the mutton pieces for 30 mins with the juice of 1 limeÂ
- In a pressure cooker, heat  some oil/ghee and add the Elaichi(Green Cardamon), Cloves and Cinnamon stickÂ
- Next add the sliced onions & green chillies  and saut for 3-4 minsÂ
- Add the coriander leaves nextÂ
- Finally add the  freshly ground ginger garlic paste . Cook with constantly stirring until the raw smell disappears on a medium flame
- Add the marinated mutton pieces and coat it with all the fried ingredients
- Add the dry spice powders - Chilli powder, Coriander powder, turmeric and salt. And then add the curd and stir all the ingredients
- Next add the diced tomatoes to the mutton spice mixture. Cook until the tomato becomes pulpy and the oil  starts to seperate
- Add in a glass of water and let the mixture pressure cook for 3 whistles . This is how it would look once its off the pressure and you open the lid
- Collect the upper layer of the fatty oil of the meat & spice gravy and set asideÂ
- In another vessel, par boil the soaked basmati rice with turmeric, bay leaves & elaichi . Drain the  excess water once done
- Layer out the mutton mixture and rice and give a gentle stir. Remember  to avoid over stirring as this will break down the basmati grain and reduce its flaky texture. Pour over the excess fatty oil collected in a separate bowl and simmer it for 10mins by covering it with a lid sealed with chapati doughÂ
