4.You can add Kashmiri chilli powder.Its optional.It gives a nice color to the dish.Mix well with the onions.Add chopped tomatoes.Cook till they get soft,add little water( about 1 – 2 tbsp)so that the masala does not get burnt.Add in the cleaned mutton pieces.Mix well with the masala.

5.Add 1 cup of water and allow them to cook till the mutton gets soft.Open the lid after the pressure has released and add the ground coconut masala into it and cook for about 10 minutes.

6.To a pan add 1 tbsp of oil and fry the sliced shallots or sliced Onions and curry leaves till the onions turn golden.Add this tempering to the curry.

Serve this curry with Rice,Pulao,Appam,Chapathi……

I used Coconut oil in this curry.It gives nice rich taste and flavor to the curry.
