1)      Now, add marinated mutton and saute on high 5-6 minutes until raw small goes off

2)      Then, add red chilli powder, turmeric and coriander powder and mix. Now, add 2 cups of water, cover and cook the mutton until tender. This will take approx 50 minutes as I have made it in handi. Do not over cook mutton at this stage. Keep stirring in between to avoid burning. If water dries up, you may add more. But you can make it pressure cooker as well to save time. Also, make sure, if you are cooking it in pressure cooker, do not add to much water at a time. We need to cook it such that not much water is left in cooked mutton.

3)      Now, add tomato slices, fried potatoes and chilies and cook for another 5 minutes.
