Notes

Mutton also can be used in place of chicken. It needs to be pressure cooked and the rest of the recipe remains the same. Since it is difficult to get fresh fenugreek leaves at the place where i reside currently, i always get it in a dried form during my visit to Hyderabad and stock it up in my pantry.
