Wash and roughly chop the leaves.
In a pressure cooker, saute onions with ginger garlic paste and the rest of the spices until the raw smell of the onions fade away. Add Mutton bone-in and saute on a low heat for a further 5 minutes.
And finally add juicy and ripe tomatoes.
Cover and cook for 5 minutes and then close the lid. Add little water and salt too. Pressure cook until the Mutton gets done. After the pressure settles down on it's own, open the lid and add the chopped Green Sorrel leaves and soaked Bengal Gram. Soak it for a good 2 hours or a little more and cook on a high heat.
It gets done in no time at all. Saute until oil starts leaving the sides. Do not stir it much. Mix with light hands.
If Bengal gram is used, add it along with the leaves.
Garnish with chopped coriander and serve hot with Khatti Daal or Tamatar ka Kat
