Telangana Style Mutton Curry

To a pressure cooker, add 2 tablespoons of oil and heat it.

Add 2 cups of chopped onions and fry them until they change color.

Add 0.5 teaspoon of turmeric powder and 2 teaspoons of ginger-garlic paste, then mix and fry for a minute.

Add 500 grams of cleaned mutton and let it cook in the oil with the lid closed until all the water from the mutton boils away.

For the masala paste, take a mixie jar and add 2 teaspoons of poppy seeds (optional), 0.5 teaspoon of cumin seeds, 2 teaspoons of fried coriander seeds, 3 teaspoons of coconut powder, 3 cardamom pods, 5 cloves, 3 cinnamon sticks, and 0.5 teaspoon of shajeera. Add some water and grind it into a smooth paste.

To the cooked mutton, add 3 teaspoons of chili powder and 2 teaspoons of salt, then mix well.

Add the prepared masala paste to the mutton and mix thoroughly. Let it cook for 5 minutes.

Add 1 cup of water to the empty mixie jar (to rinse out remaining masala), mix, and then add this water to the mutton curry. Stir everything together.

Close the lid of the pressure cooker and cook for 2-3 whistles to ensure the mutton is tender.

Allow the cooker to cool down completely before opening the lid. The gravy should be thicker.
