2. In a pan, heat 3 tbsp oil + 1 tbsp ghee. Add sliced onion, salt, & turmeric and saute until the raw smell goes away. Add chopped tomatoes and saute until the tomatoes are mushy. Add the marinated mutton pieces aloong with water and mix well. Cover and cook stirring occasionally for 30 minutes until the gravy becomes thick & the meat is tender. You could also pressure cook the meat mixture for 3-4 whistles. Switch off the flame and set aside..
