    For Roasting & Grinding:

Cooking Instructions:

• Heat oil in a cooker. Add cumin seeds and allow it to splutter. Add red chilly and curry leaves.

• Add onion,turmeric powder and salt. Saute till it turns translucent. Add mutton and saute till it turns brown and leaves water. This'll take 4 to 6 mins. Then add the ground spice powder.

• Once the pressure dies naturally, open and check the consistency and if it is still juicy then cook till the water evaporates.
