Notes

Pressure cooking this dish takes less time to prepare.
You can use mutton pieces with bones if you want to but I recommend using boneless mutton pieces as it adds to the texture.
The curd should be mixed on low heat before cooking it on a high flame for 2 minutes. This method will stop curdling from happening.
