For Marination:

500 g mutton curry cut
½ tsp turmeric powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ginger-garlic paste
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tbsp Kashmiri chili powder
2 tbsp Malvani masala powder

For Curry:

2 tbsp vegetable oil

5-6 green chilies
Handful of coriander leaves
50 ml water

Instructions

Marinate mutton pieces with turmeric powder, salt, ginger-garlic paste, and lemon juice for 30 minutes.
Add Kashmiri chili powder and Malvani masala powder to the marinated mutton and mix well.
Heat oil in a pressure cooker and sauté sliced onions, garlic cloves, ginger, and dry coconut until golden brown.
Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they become mushy and soft.
Add the marinated mutton, green chilies, coriander leaves, and water to the pressure cooker.
Pressure cook for approximately 2 whistles or until the mutton becomes tender.
Once pressure releases naturally, stir the curry and adjust seasoning before serving hot.

Notes

Malvani masala powder is essential for authentic flavor - available at Indian grocery stores or online

Dry coconut slices can be substituted with 2 tbsp desiccated coconut if unavailable

For spicier curry, increase green chilies or add ½ tsp red chili powder

Curry tastes better the next day as flavors develop overnight

Can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 3 days

Serve with steamed rice, chapati, or traditional sol kadhi for complete Malvani experience

If mutton isn't tender after 2 whistles, pressure cook for 1 additional whistle
