Ingredients:

• Mutton- 300 grams (boneless)
• Curd- 2 tbsp.
• Ginger garlic paste- 1 ½ tsp.
• Salt- ½ tsp.
• Turmeric- ¼ tsp.
• Red chilli powder- ½ tsp.
• Oil- 1 ½ tbsp.
• Green cardamom- 2
• Cinnamon stick- 1 inch
• Onions- 1 cup (finely chopped)
• Tomatoes- ¼ cup (pureed)
• Green chilli- 1 (slit)
• Meat masala- 2 tsp.
• Water- ½ cup + 2 tbsp.
• Curry leaves- 15-18
• Fresh coriander- 1 tbsp. (chopped)

Procedure:

1.  In a bowl add the curd, ginger garlic paste, salt, turmeric and red chilli powder. Mix the ingredients really well. Add the mutton pieces to the marinade and let the mutton marinate for at least 2-3 hours in the refrigerator. Though it is best if you could marinade the mutton overnight.
2.  Before you start cooking remove the meat at least 30 minutes’ prior from the refrigerator.
3.  In a pressure cooker heat some oil and toast the cinnamon and the cardamom for 2 minutes.
4.  Now add the chopped onion to the oil and cook until the onion is golden in colour.
5.  Add the marinated meat to the pan and cook the mutton for at least 5-7 minutes on a low flame.
6.  Now cover the pan and let the mutton cook for 10-12 minutes on a low flame. After 10 minutes you will see that the mutton has started releasing the moisture. Now add the meat masala and cook for another 2 minutes.
7.  Now add the curry leaves and the tomato puree to the mutton. Continue cooking for another 7-10 minute so that the tomatoes are completely cooked and incorporated with the curry.
8.  Add water and pressure cook the mutton for 3-4 whistles. Make sure to cook it on a medium flame.
9.  Now turn off the flame and let the pressure subside before you open the pressure cooker.
10.  If the curry is too runny to your liking you can simmer it until it is thick.
11.  Garnish the mutton curry with chopped fresh coriander.
12.  Serve the mutton curry with roti, rice, naan or paratha.
