Now pour in enough water and add required salt and mix well.

 

 

Cover the pressure pan and cook till the meat gets tender.( I kept for 5 whistles and 15 mins in medium flame to cook the mutton ).

 

 

Serve this curry with hot steamed rice or with rotis.

Notes :

  • My red chillies are mild so I added a little chilli powder.Taste and adjust the spiciness accordingly.

  • The cooking time for the mutton depends on it.If it is soft it will cook soon.If it is hard will take some more time to cook.

  • You can also add 1/2 tsp pepper corns while grinding the masala.This will also give a nice flavour to the curry ( I didn’t add).

  • Decrease the oil if you find it more.
