1 tbsp ginger paste
1 tbsp garlic paste
1/3 cup dry coconut, grated
2 tbsp poppy seeds
1 tbsp Kashmiri red chili powder
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tbsp Meat/Mutton masala powder

Salt, to taste
Water, as required

Recipe:
1. Dry Roast Poppy Seeds: In a pressure cooker, dry roast 2 tbsp of poppy seeds until fragrant. Remove and blend into a fine paste with a little water. Set aside.
2. Roast coconut and whole spices: In the same cooker, heat 2 tablespoons of oil. Add dry coconut and whole spices. Sauté until they turn slightly brown. Remove, cool, and blend into a fine paste.
3. Sauté Onions with Ginger and Garlic: In the same cooker, add more oil if needed. Sauté chopped onions along with ginger and garlic paste until golden brown.
4. Blend the onion, coconut, and poppy seed mixture to a fine paste.
5. Prepare Mutton: In the cooker, heat 1/2 cup oil, add whole spices, and sauté. Add the mutton pieces, and cook on MEDIUM flame for 5 minutes.
6. Add Spices: Stir in turmeric, Kashmiri red chili powder, and coriander powder. Cook for another 5 minutes on high with the lid on (without locking the whistle).
7. Combine Pastes with Mutton: Add the onion, poppy seed, and coconut paste mixture to the mutton. Mix well.
8. Seasoning and Water: Stir in garam masala and chicken masala. Adjust the consistency by adding water as needed.
9. Pressure Cook: Cook until you hear 5 whistles, indicating the mutton is tender and the flavors are well blended.
10. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh coriander and mint leaves. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
