Take a pressure cooker base and start adding boneless mutton, shallots, tomato, ginger garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder, black pepper powder, salt and water. 

Cover with lid and pressure cook the meat for up to 5 to 6 whistles. For tender goat meat give about 4 to 5 whistles and then switch off!

Meanwhile heat some ghee in a kadai and toast cashews until crisp and golden. Remove from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, heat some oil and temper with curry leaves, cumin seeds & fennel seeds. Let those fry in oil for a minute.

Add roughly chopped shallots  or regular onions along with some ginger garlic paste and saute for 5 minutes or until they turn soft & shiny.  Switch off and set this aside.

Open the cooker once the pressure releases and put it back on medium flame and bring the gravy to a rolling boil. Reduce the flame and then simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until it reduces to a semi thick stage. 

Once the gravy turns into a thick mass (semi-thick masala) add the sauteed onions to it and  continue to slow roast for another 5 minutes.

As you cook, the masala will thicken even more and get a little dry. At this stage add raw garam masala and roasted cashews and saute along for few minutes.

Throw in few curry leaves and slow roast for couple of minutes and switch off! Tasty, spicy Mutton Sukka is all ready to be served.  

Notes

You may choose to use Boneless mutton on bone – in meat  depending on your preference.  Adding raw garam masala gives nice flavor to the dish.
