      Hello
      Your tutorials are so good especially with step by step pictures and videos. It really helps first time cooks like me.
      I am going to try this mutton curry but I do not have a pressure cooker. How do I cook the mutton?!
      How many minutes to boil? How much water? I'm cooking slightly more then 500g of mutton. It's my first time cooking mutton!
      Thank you for your help!

      @Anonymouswithout pressure it will take around 1 to 1.30 mins to cook in a normal. Start with 1.5 cup of water and keep adding more water if the mutton gets dry
