Mutton Pulao can be really tedious to cook,
But today, I'm going to show you how to make it very quickly,
And in two easy steps in a pressure cooker.
So the first step of this recipe is to cook the Mutton,
I am creating a stock, a flavoursome stock.
For which, I've got 3 cups of water...
...which is just heating up in this pressure cooker.
Now I am going to create a Bouquet Garni...
...which is French for simply Potli.
With all the spices which is just going to...
...flavour our Mutton stock really well.
So to this Muslin Cloth, I'm going to add 3 Bay Leaves.
2 tbsp of Coriander Seeds.
About 8 Cloves.
20 Pepper Corns.
About 5 Cardamom Pods.
1 tbsp of Fennel Seeds.
2 Cinnamon sticks.
2 Star Anise.
1 Mace.
And 2 Onions that have just been cut in half.
2 inch pieces of a Ginger.
About 5 Cloves of Garlic.
2 Kashmiri Red Chillies.
And 2 tsp of Cumin Seeds.
Now you just need to tie this up into a tight little Potli.
So make it nice and snug.
And just place it in this water.
And now to this, I'm going to add the star of this dish,
500 gms of Mutton.
Make sure that it's all submerged in the water.
Every is nice and snug here.
Now to this, I'm going to add Salt.
Because remember what we're creating...
...is a really nice and flavoursome stock.
So it needs salt.
Now, this is all started to simmer,
So I'm just going to cover this with the lid.
And cook this about 8 whistles,
Mutton cooking time can really vary.
So I'm going to start with 8 whistles.
On a high flame if you're cooking this on a gas.
Or on an induction at 1000 watts.
It's been 8 whistles and I have now let the...
...steam release naturally from the pressure cooker.
So we can open it up.
Oh lovely!
And as you can see the Mutton has cooked really well,
It's become a little soft.
I'm going to take out the mutton pieces...
...and just put them in this bowl here.
And now, I'm just going to drain all the liquid out of this bouquet garni.
Just squeeze it to the side of the pressure cooker.
And it's time to take that out.
And just drain out this beautiful stock.
This is a one-pot recipe,
So I am going to move on to cooking the Pulao in this.
To this, I'm going to add about a tbsp of Ghee.
Add a tbsp of Oil.
And just let the heat up slightly.
So I'm just going to sear the mutton pieces in this now.
Love that sizzle!
That's it just stir fry it slightly.
Take the Mutton out now.
Now just add all the Khada Masalas.
Again, I'm going to add 1 Bay Leaf.
About 4 Cloves.
1 Kashmiri Red Chilli.
1 Cinnamon Stick.
3 Cloves of Green Cardamom.
And 1 Black Cardamom.
Just bash these up.
Now just add this to the fragrant oil here.
To this, I'm going to add 1 Onion.
That's been finely sliced.
The Onions are nearly golden now.
So I'm going to add all the other ingredients...
...that I need to add immediately.
Which is about 1/2 a tsp of Cumin Seeds.
And 1/2 a tsp of Ginger paste.
1/2 a tsp of Garlic paste.
1 Green Chilli, that's been slit in half.
Stir all of these in.
And cook it till the raw smell of the Ginger & Garlic goes away.
To this, I'm going to add 1 Tomato,
That's just been roughly chopped up, it's slightly chunky.
A 1/4 of a tsp of Cumin Powder.
1/2 a tsp of Garam Masala.
And 1/2 a tsp of Coriander Powder.
1/2 a tsp of Red Chilli Powder.
And a little bit of Salt.
And let all of this just cook with the tomatoes.
It's time to add in Mutton back into this pan.
And just mix it with the Masala,
So that it's really well coated in all the spices.
To this, I'm going to add 1 cup of Basmati Rice,
That was soaking in water for about half an hour.
And now I've drained the water out.
And I am just adding it.
Coat it again with the spices and the mutton.
Now, I'm going to add 1 and 1/2 cups of the stock.
Juice of 1/2 a lemon.
Bring this to a slight simmer,
And then cover and cook this for 1 whistle on 1000 watts...
..if you are cooking this on an induction like me.
Or high flame if you are cooking it on a gas flame.
After 1 whistle, I've turned the induction off,
And let the steam release naturally.
So now it's time to check on our Mutton Pulao.
Wow! And that's beautiful.
I'm just going to serve up this Mutton Pulao,
Because I'm ready to tuck into it.
You saw just how simple it is to make Mutton Pulao...
...in a pressure cooker, a one pot dish.
