In a 3 Ltr pressure cooker add oil and swirl the cooker to evenly coat the bottom.Place the marinated mutton in a single layer (as much as possible) on one half of the cooker and add the shallots to the other half.

Add the green chilies,curry leaves,coconut slices and meat masala (or the quick homemade meat masala), as the next layer.(Do not mix).Do not add water,the meat will get cooked in its own juices.Cover with the lid ,place the pressure regulator/vent weight.Now switch on the stove.Cook over high heat for 13 to 15 minutes( depending on how tender/tough the meat is).Switch off the stove and open the pressure cooker once the pressure has been released completely.
