- Add in some ginger-garlic paste and green chillies, and fry this till the mixture is aromatic.
- Add the marinated mutton pieces to this mix and cook them on a low flame for 5-6 minutes, stirring them at regular intervals.
- Add about 3 cups of water (about 400ml) once the mutton is cooked and cover the pressure cooker with its lid.
- Cook this mutton curry on medium heat for a time period of 7 to 8 whistles and then turn off the heat.
- Once the pressure is settled, remove the lid and stir the curry, adding the drumstick pieces and half a cup of water to it. Mix it well.
- Turn the stove back on and cook the mutton curry until the drumstick pieces are soft. Add in the chopped coriander leaves and garam masala and mix it thoroughly.
