Wash and marinate the mutton with all the spices. Keep it aside until the rest of the preparations are made.
Slice the onions thinly. Wash and cut the drumsticks into 3 inch long pieces. Chop the tomatoes. In a pressure cooker, heat the oil and saute the onions first. After about 4 minutes, add the marinated mutton to it.
Saute it for the next 2 to 3 minutes. Finally add the tomatoes and allow it to simmer for 5 more minutes.
Next pressure cook this using a cup of water for 7 whistles. After the pressure settles down, open the lid and add the drumsticks. Grind dried rice into a fine powder. Mix it well in a little amount of water.
Add this paste to the curry. Cover and cook on medium flame for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, add the thin tamarind pulp. Soak the tamarind in enough water and squeeze out the liquid and add it to the curry as well.
Let the raw smell of the tamarind vanish. Cover and simmer on low to medium flame for the next 16 to 18 minutes. Keep checking and stirring all the while. The rice powder added to the curry makes it thick.
Therefore add hot water accordingly and adjust the consistency as per your liking. It is usually semi thick and it is a desirable consistency liked by all Hyderabadis. Thinner consistency ruins the taste, so add water accordingly.
Adjust Salt at this stage. Garnish with Coriander Leaves and serve hot with Rice, Phulkas, Chapatis and Zeera Rice. Enjoy!
