Instructions

Add yogurt, turmeric and salt to the meat. Mix it thoroughly and set it aside for a good 3- 4 hours.
In a pressure pan cooker, add oil, once it is warm enough add the bay leaf, cinnamon stick and cardamom.
Now add the chopped onions to it and fry until it becomes light brown in color. You can now add ginger and garlic paste to it and saute it until the oil separates from the masala/paste completely.
Add all the dry powder and mix it really well. We can add the marinated meat to it and saute it really well at regular intervals for 3-5 minutes at a low to medium heat.
Now add 2 cups of water to it ( you may reduce or increase the quantity of water depending on the consistency of gravy you want). Cover the cooker, cook it on a low to medium heat and allow it to cook till 2 whistles blow for the meat to get cooked completely.
Allow atleast 30 minutes before you can remove the mutton curry from the cooker into a serving bowl and garnish the same with fresh coriander.
Now the Mutton curry is ready to be devoured!
