Method

1.Wash the mutton with  turmeric and salt let it marinate 

2. Make a paste of the ginger, garlic,green chili, cilantro and 2 sprigs of curry leaf

Make a paste of coconut,poppy seeds  and almond or cashews

3.Marinate the mutton with 1 tablespoon of the green masala turmeric, chili powder and salt 

4.Cook it  in the insta pot along with 1cup water for 10 minutes on high and release pressure naturally if you don’t have one you can  pressure cook using a regular pressure cooker for 10 min  approximately 2 whistles 

5.Remove the meat from pressure pot or pan rinse and  set the pot  to sauté mode add enough oil 2 -3 tablespoons  to sauté the whole spices  for 30 sec 

5.Now add the chopped onions, curry leaves 2 sprigs once it turns translucent add the remaining green paste and cook till the raw smell disappears 

6. Add the rest of the spice powders except garam masala 

followed by 1/4 cup water to deglaze the pan you can also use the stock that came from the meat while cooking 

7.Press cancel and move to the pressure mode add the  marinated meat, potatoes and check for salt cover the lid cook on high pressure  for another 8 minutes in the insta pot 

8. Once the pressure releases naturally I open and add the ground coconut and poppyseed paste  let it boil at this point I would add the garam masala as well and squeeze a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice 

9. Garnish with cilantro serve it with piping hot white  Rice or coconut rice it’s a great combination  

10. You can make the same curry using any meat beef lamb goat or chicken just the timing will vary with the chicken
