        I’d always recommend marinating meat atleast for 30 minutes. But if your pressed of time, you can add meat to the dish and add in all the spices. Please note – marinating meat always makes the dish taste better

      Hi,

      Can we cook this pepper mutton curry in pressure cooker as cooking mutton in a pan takes a very long time.

      Thanks,
