Green Cardemon                        2/3

Black peper                                3/4
Bay leaf                                       2

Recipe:
1. Heat oil in pressure cooker or kadai ( i prefer pressure cooker because i don't have that patience to stir it till it is cooked ;) ).
Note : You could fry onion or other spices at the biginning but i prefer to cook Mutton first so.

2. Put bay leaf in the oil when it is heated, put cumin seeds when their color changes to brown put mutton in it and stir it until  all the water left by mutton is gone.
3. Put salt and turmeric and mix it.
4. I generally put mutton in one side and fry onion, garlic and ginger and other spices but you can also take out all the mutton and  fry onion (till its color changes to brown), ginger garlic paste, green leaf of garlic,green chilly (chopped), dry spices powder, cumin-coriender powder, tomato and mix the mutton when they all are cooked.
5. After all the spices added to mutton mix them well and put water as per your requirement and then cover the lid of the cooker and turn off the gas after 1/2 whistle.
6. Put fresh green coriander leaf before serving delecious Mutton gravy is ready.

You can have it with rice , Pulao , Chapati or Beaten rice which ever you prefer.


Note : If you don't like more spiecy gravy then you can remove dry spices and simply use cumin-coriender powder, ginger-garlic paste and chilly as spices it will also give wonderful taste.
