      Yes Elakkiya, is about 1kg mutton roughly… that much coriander will give thickness to the gravy and adds volume. If you are too skeptical use may be 4 tablespoons. Thanks and write me a feedback, Goodluck!

    Hi there,

    What do you mean by cooking if for 3 whistles? Do you use the pressure cooking setting of meat setting on the instant pot? Also can you specify what simmering on the instant pot means? Like do you use the sauté button to simmer? Thank you in advance.

      Hi Justina,
      This recipe is using a pressure cooker and the count is for regular stovetop pressure cooker. If using an instant pot, you can use the pressure cook mode and give about 30 minutes for mature big cut meat. If using tender baby goat, give about 15 minutes under pressure cook mode and let the natural pressure release. The masala should be done under saute mode, cook meat with the masala switching to pressure cook mode and finally simmer to desired consistency. Hope this helps.Thanks

    Hi Mullai,

    All your recipes looks great! It makes me hungry. I like to make this chettinad mutton curry. I don’t have pressure cooker with me, Can i cook the same with electric rice cooker? Will it come well? I look forward to u’r reply.

    Thanks

      Naayagi, pressure cooking is a must for goat meat. But given the fact that you don't have one, only choice is time consuming crock pot version. Rice cooker doesn't work for this recipe. You can get one of these… they usually start from $20 price range, follow the recipe till pressure cooking, then transfer the content to crock pot and let it cook for 8 to 9 hours or till the meat tenderizes. Thanks.

          Thanks a lot for the receipes Mullai, I made idlies, and tried chicken briyani, attukal paya and chettinadu mutton curry  . Everything came well. mutton curry alone bit thick than i expected, but it was very tasty. I made idlies after an years time. Here it is very cold, so the rice flour never get fermented. This time i followed u'r method, it has come well. I made dosa also. I don't have words to express. Thanks very much. I feel like eating my mom's idli. i am longing to eat tasty food here. My mom cooks very well. I am missing her food here. This website and the recipes quoted  are excellent.

      GP, beef takes little longer to cook.. so adjust the whistle count according to quality of meat. Beef should work, try and let me know. Thanks.

    I tried this item today. It has come good. The method of preparation given here is more or less same of what i used to prepare as mutton Kuzhambu. Oru chinna suggestion. In case if you are making as Kuzhambu, add peeled and cut potato along with mutton pieces in the pressure cooker. It will be very nice. Rajiselva

    HI mullai

    My hubby likes mutton a lot. but unfortunately i dont prepare it well and i tend to disappoint him. Yesterday i tried this recipe and surprised him . he told ” that this was the best home made mutton he had ever eaten “. it was really yummy. i cud get the smell of the hotel mutton.
    as i dint have jathipoo n kapok buds i dint utilise it. next time will try with this.
    thanx a lot for posting this !

      Deepa, you can use fresh grated too provided you dry fry over tawa until slightly browned. Dried coconut has got an earthy flavour… fresh coconut will give you regular kurma kind of flavour. Hope you got my point and good luck.
