You can pressure cook the mutton to save time and energy...and another tip is after you add water to the mutton you could transfer it to a baking bowl undercover with foil.. and bake it for 45 mins at 350drg... then lastly add tomato, curd and potato and cook for about 20 to 15 mins more....on stove top
