- Let the mutton cook for at least 5- 10 mins till its water comes out it.
- Now add the cooked chana dal, 1/2cup of water and adjust the flavor with salt and pressure cook it for 15-20mins depending on the tenderness you would like to serve.
- (Generally we like it very soft and not to be that watery so i prefer to cook it for minimum of 5-6 whistles)

Pressure cook it more, for more tender mutton curry.
