Once onion become reddish brown, turn the stove to low-flame and add each handful of coriander leaves and mint leaves to the pan. Stir for 10 seconds.

Stir the contents well in LOW flame for 2 minutes.

Now, add potato (chopped to medium size)
- Pour water – half litre. Then stir well.

Turn the flame to HIGH – let the contents in the vessel boil and get cooked in high flame for some time.
When we see vapours coming out from side of lid, remove the lid, stir gently for 10 seconds.

Close the vessel with a lid.
Let the contents get cooked fully for another 15 minutes in LOW flame.
After 15 minutes, remove the lid. Stir a little.
Take one small piece of mutton and check if it got cooked completely by breaking it.
The mutton piece should break smoothly and easily – this indicates it got cooked well.
Grind half slice of coconut in our “Mixy Jar” along with a little of water.
Pour the coconut paste into the vessel carrying mutton + masala content.
Stir well to mix all the contents evenly.

Stir occasionally.
After 5 minutes, turn off the flame.
