3.    Add mutton pieces, turmeric powder and salt to taste, and sauté for 5 mins. Add a cup of water and pressure cook for one whistle; simmer and cook for another for
seven minutes (if using chicken, reduce the cooking time to 10 mins and 5-10
mins for vegetables).

5.    Finally, temper with red chilies, small onions and few sprigs of curry leaves.

Tip - We advise the use of local tomatoes and not
Bangalore ones as local tomatoes have less colour and are sour by nature.
