Overview

This Mutton Curry recipe is a fantastic option for those who find themselves short on time but still want to enjoy a delicious meal. The use of mustard oil adds a unique flavor that pairs beautifully with the mutton. As the onions fry, they release their sweetness, which balances the spices perfectly. The addition of whole spices allows for a customizable flavor profile, making it easy to adapt to your taste preferences.

One of the standout features of this recipe is its speed. In just 10 to 15 minutes, you can have a hearty curry ready to serve. This makes it an excellent choice for Sehri during Ramadan, where time is often limited. The method of cooking under pressure not only saves time but also ensures that the mutton becomes tender and flavorful.

The final touch of kasuri methi adds a lovely aroma and depth to the dish. Garnishing with fresh coriander leaves not only enhances the presentation but also adds a fresh note to the rich flavors of the curry. This recipe is perfect for anyone looking to whip up something special without spending hours in the kitchen.
