Method

• Wash the mutton thoroughly and cut into small pieces

• Add the ground masala to the mutton  and fry till the oil separates
• Add a little water and pressure cook till the mutton is soft and tender. You can prepare in an open vessel too instead of the cooker
• Heat a little oil in the Kadai. Add the curry leaves then the cooked  mutton and roast it.  Roast it well and make it completely dry. Make sure not to burn
