Preparation:
1) Wash and clean the mutton and marinate it with turmeric and salt. Cut the onions into half.
2) Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pressure cooker and add the whole garam masala and fry for few seconds and then add the onions, crushed ginger garlic and garam masala powder. Fry until the onions are caramelized and add the mutton to it. Mix well adding little salt and let it cook for 2-3 whistles, and allow it to rest until the pressure is released.
3) Soak Poppy seeds in a little warm water for 10 mins. Meanwhile dry roast all the ingredients for masala paste and grind them into a fine paste adding very little water.
4) Heat oil in a fry pan and add the curry leaves and the ground masala paste to it. Fry for one minute and then add the cooked mutton mixture into it. Fry until the raw smell of the masala is gone.
5) Add the coconut milk to it and let it boil for 5 mins. Garnish with chopped coriander and serve with steamed rice, pulao, roti, or idli/dosa.
Note:If you can't eat so much spicy food, then remove the whole garam masala items from the masala paste.
