Instructions
- Firstly wash the mutton and drain the water thoroughly. Keep aside.
- Adjust the consistency of the gravy to your liking by adding water. Adjust the salt if required. Now close the lid of the cooker once again and cook on high until one whistle is heard. This allows the potatoes to be cooked. Then switch off the flame. Open the lid carefully after releasing the built-in steam.
Recipe Notes
- Tomato mutton curry can also be made in a cooking pot with a tight lid. For this follow the same procedure but for tenderizing the mutton cover the cooking pot with the lid and cook for 2 minutes on high flame and then for 30 minutes on low flame.(the time taken for tenderizing the mutton may vary).
- Add only 1.5 glasses of water for tenderizing mutton, as adding more water at this point may delay the process. You can add water later to adjust the consistency.
- Adding potato is optional in this curry.
- If you do not have curry leaves then add coriander or methi leaves.
- Using bone-in mutton makes it more delicious.
- Adding tamarind water is optional. If you intend the curry to be tangier then add little tamarind pulp to it. But preferably the tanginess of tomatoes will be enough.
- Be extra cautious while using a pressure cooker. Open the lid of the cooker only after the built-in steam cools down.
