Yes, you can. Place the marinated mutton in a heavy-bottomed pot with 1-1.5 cups of water. Cover and simmer on low heat for 60-90 minutes, or until the mutton is tender and the water has mostly evaporated. Then proceed with the frying step.
Tough mutton can be due to a few reasons: insufficient marination time, undercooking in the pressure cooker, or the quality of the meat itself. Ensure you marinate for at least 2 hours (overnight is best) and cook it until it's almost falling apart before you start frying.
Absolutely! Substitute mutton with boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into pieces. Skip the pressure cooking step entirely. After marinating, pan-fry the chicken directly with the onions until it's cooked through and well-browned, which should take about 15-20 minutes.
