1 large onion thinly sliced

1 large tomato chopped

2 tbsp tomato paste heaped

2 tsp bezaar spice blend

1/4 tsp turmeric powder

1/4 ts cumin powder

1/4 tsp cinnamon powder

1/4 tsp cardamom powder

Add in the onions and saute on high flame till it turns golden brown and smells fried.

Add the tomato and tomato paste and cook just till mashed.

Add in all the spice powders and the loomi and give a good mix.

Add the washed and drained mutton, add in the salt. Add a cup of water and close this lid.

Pressure cook for 3-5 whistles, till the mutton is almost done. Allow the pressure to go by itself.

Open the lid, add in the vegetable chunks. Adjust the seasoning. Close and cook for one whistle. Take off and allow the presure to go. By this time, the mutton should fall off its bone and the vegetables should be cooked but still in shape.

Open the lid, and check the seasoning. Add the coriander leaves. Add more hot water if needed.

To serve, layer dish with regaag or saj bread. Pour the stew only all over the bread for it to soak. Top with the mutton chunks and vegetable. Enjoy!
