Cooking Tips

• For a richer flavor, you can also add cashew paste or almond paste to the gravy.
• If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can cook the mutton in a regular pot, but it will take longer to become tender.

Storage and Serving

• Kolhapuri Mutton can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the dish in a pan or microwave before serving.
• Serve hot with steamed rice, jeera rice, naan, or roti.
