🔥 Method
Marinate the Mutton
Mix mutton chops with yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, chilli, coriander powder, and salt.
Let it marinate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best flavour).
Pressure Cook the Mutton
Add the marinated chops to a pressure cooker with ½ cup water.
Cook for 3–4 whistles until tender. Keep aside (retain the stock).
Prepare the Masala
Heat oil in a thick-bottomed pan.
Add cumin seeds, curry leaves, and sliced onions. Sauté till onions turn deep golden brown.
Add tomatoes and green chillies; cook till tomatoes soften and oil begins to separate.
Add the Cooked Mutton
Add the tender mutton chops along with a few spoons of the stock.
Mix well and cook on medium flame till masala thickens and coats the chops evenly.
Add garam masala and crushed pepper. Stir and fry until the oil begins to separate again.
Final Touch
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
Serve hot — slightly dry or semi-gravy, as per your preference.
🍽️ Serving Suggestion
