    Ingredients
      

    • 1 kg Mutton / Goat / Lamb

    Gravy

    • 2 cups Small Onion
    • 2 sprigs curry leaves
    • 2 green chilli
    • 1 cup water
    • 1 tablespoon lime juice
    • 3 tbsps coriander leaves
    • vinegar (optional)
    • salt

    Grind

    • 11/2 tbsps ginger
    • 11/2 tbsps garlic
    • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
    • 1 ½ tbsps coriander powder
    • 2 tbsps Chilly powder
    • ½ teaspoon pepper powder
    • 1 ½ teaspoons garam masala
    • 1 teaspoon fennel powder

    Instructions
     

    • Slice small onion. In a pressure cooker, heat the oil. Add the small onion, curry leaves, salt and green chilly. Adding salt, helps the onion to get cooked fast. You can replace 1 cup of small onion with regular onion if needed.
    • Saute the onions until it is lightly brown in color.
    • Grind the ingredients listed under the Grind section in the ingredients list. Add 1 or 2 tablespoon of water to grind it well. Add the grinded mixture and saute well in oil.
    • Add 1 cup water and add sufficient salt. Add lime juice.  Add cleaned mutton pieces and pressure cook until mutton is done. It usually takes around 4 - 5 whistles. Onion gets mashed into the gravy, by this time.
    • Coriander leaves is optional. Add it only if you like the coriander leaves flavor. If you need more sourness for the curry, add sufficient vinegar.
    • Cook it for 5 - 10 minutes or until gravy has desired consistency.
    • Enjoy with porotta, any sort of rice variants ( ghee rice, pulao, normal rice) and any Indian bread.
