Clean Mutton (1.1 lb) and keep it aside. Crush Fresh Ginger (2 in) and Garlic (6 cloves). To a pressure cooker pour Oil (3 Tbsp) and add the sliced Onions (3) Saute till it becomes light brown in color. Now add crushed ginger and garlic and saute for two to three minutes

Reduce the flame and add Red Chili Powder (2 Tbsp), Ground Turmeric (as needed), Ground Coriander (1 Tbsp), Garam Masala (1 Tbsp), and Fennel Seeds (2 tsp).

Now add cleaned mutton pieces, Salt (to taste), Curry Leaves (to taste), and enough hot water (around two cups) and pressure cook till the mutton is done. Once the pressure drops open the cooker and add chopped Fresh Cilantro (to taste) leaves and let it boil for some time or till you achieve the required consistency for the gravy.
