- Add whole garam masala(Brinji leaf, Cinnamon, Cloves and Fennel seeds) and fry for a minute.
- Add Onion and fry till it turns into transparent. Add Ginger Garlic paste and fry till the raw smell goes.
- Add Turmeric powder, Chili powder, Cumin powder, Coriander powder and fry till the smell of masala goes.
- Add cut Mutton pieces and fry for a minute. Then add Salt, Lime juice and little water to it. Mutton will release its own moisture too. So its enough if you add little water.
- Cover the pressure cooker pan and cook up to 4 whistles. Once the steam is released from the pressure cooker, check for salt and Cook the mutton pieces again if it needs some more cooking.
- If you are using pan, cover and cook till the mutton pieces are cooked. It may take more time to cook.
