Instructions
 

  • Heat a pressure Cooker. Add mustard oil & bring it to smoking point. Meanwhile, peel & slice onions. Also, make a thick paste of ginger & garlic. Make a separate of all dry spices with curd & water.
  • Add all whole spices [ shah jeera bay leaves cardamoms cinnamon & mace]. Then Immediately add sliced onions. Add some salt 1/2 tsp]. Fry onions on medium to slow flame until they become golden brown in color.
  • Add washed mutton. Add some more salt [1tsp]. Mix well. Cover it with a lid [ we don't want to pressure cook at this stage] & keep the flame low.Keep stirring in between. Mutton will leave its juices & get cooked slightly if kept covered all the time
  • Once these juices are again absorbed by mutton add ginger garlic paste & dry spices & curd paste. Mix well. Sprinkle little water if needed to avoid masala to burn.
  • Cook on slow flame until the masala starts leaving the sides. Cook covered so that mutton could tenderize a bit more. Keep stirring in between.
  • Once the masala starts leaving the sides add 2 cups of water.Adjust salt to taste Cover the pressure cooker with its lid & the weight on. Cook for three whistles on high flame. Switch off the flame. Wait till its pressure is released.
  • Garnidh with fresh coriander leaves. Serve hot with dahi ki roti or rice.

Notes

  • If you cook on high flame right from the beginning mutton will become chewy. 
  • Meat masala can also be used but if you are making it this way it is not required.
  • Still, if you want to add it add 3tsp of meat masala & then don’t add dhania powder & garam masala powder. Rest recipe will be same.
