Procedure - Mutton Potato curry:

Marinate the mutton with chilly powder and turmeric and put it in the fridge, covered for ½ hour. Any meat that is put in the fridge for marination, has to be taken out 5 min before you start the dish prep.

In a pressure cooker, put 2-3 Tbsp oil. Once hot, put in the onion and let it fry till golden brown. Now put in the ginger-garlic paste, jeera powder, garamasala powder, dhaniya powder & salt and let them all fry well, till you do not get the raw smell of the powders anymore. Now put in the meat & tomato and give it a good stir and let them all fry for a minute. Drop in the potatoes and once again, a nice stir and fry for a minute. Now pour in water till the level of all the ingredients and put on the cooker lid along with the weight. 4 whistles and you can turn off the stove and let the steam totally die out. Open the lid and put it back on the flame. This is the time when you take a quick taste to check for the balance of the spices and salt. In-case anything required more, please do not hesitate. When everything is well balanced, now pour in the coconut milk, give it a good stir and take the pan off heat. Garnish with coriander and serve hot & savour the spicy mutton potato curry.
