Sear and Pressure Cook the Mutton
Finish and Serve
Replace mutton with 500g of kathal (raw jackfruit) or large chunks of potato and paneer. Adjust the pressure cooking time to about 10-12 minutes.
Add 1-2 dried red chilies along with the whole spices for extra heat. You can also use a spicier variety of red chili powder like Guntur for heat, along with Kashmiri chili for color.
If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can slow-cook the curry in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the mutton is tender. You may need to add more hot water as it cooks.

It can be part of a balanced diet. Mutton is an excellent source of protein, iron, and B vitamins. However, it's also high in saturated fat. To make it healthier, use lean cuts of mutton, trim excess fat, and use oil moderately. The spices used also offer various health benefits.
Traditionally, this fiery curry is served with Bajra Rotla (pearl millet flatbread) or Bhakri (a crisp, unleavened bread). It also pairs well with plain rice, jeera rice, or chapati.
Yes, you can substitute mutton with 500g of bone-in chicken. Reduce the pressure cooking time to about 10-12 minutes (or 2-3 whistles) as chicken cooks much faster.
After pressure cooking, simply simmer the curry uncovered on medium heat for 5-10 minutes until it reaches your desired consistency. The gravy will also thicken as it cools.
