Mutton Kurma-Pressure Cooker Method

If am in hurry or feel like lazy to cook, i know i'll be making my dinner or lunch with my pressure cooker. Every trip to India,we never forget to get a new pressure cooker, even if someone ask me wat to get for me from India, i'll ask them to bring me the recent one, needless to say i have a bunch of pressure cookers with different sizes and brands.While going through my non vegetarian recipe list, i wasnt able to see my usual pressure cooker method mutton kurma, recently i prepared this quick version of my mutton kurma for our weekend lunch and clicked it without any fail to post it today.

Since this kurma is prepared through pressure cooker, the cooking time goes for less time when compared to the usual stove top method. Usually some cook their meat through pressure cooker and prepare their kurma separatly in an another vessel,but this kurma gets ready completely through pressure cooking.If you dont have enough time to cook your sunday mutton kurma for lunch, this pressure cooker method will help you definitely.Sending to 60days of Christmas hosted by Priya and Divya and  to Jaleela's Bachelor's Feast.

Hey Priya :-) Thank you so much for dropping in on my blog :-) means a lot to me :-) ...... I love the spices and the gravy of mutton kurma , and try to incorporate the same using chicken or veg. Poppy seeds always intrigued ms, never used it though I have heard people use it the way you used, what does it exactly add to the dish? Flavor, texture, consistency ? Just curious :-) .....
