Sauté onion in a non-stick pan and keep this aside.

In a separate pan, add some oil and sauté chopped ginger and garlic and curry leaves.. Add dry roast masala to this and then add the cooked mutton pieces (without water). Sauté everything very well until the masala get coat to the mutton pieces. Now add the water (gravy) was remaining on the pressure cooker. Give everything a good mix again and close the lid. Cook in a medium flame for about 10 minutes and open the lid and add the cooked onions and curry leaves. Top up with boiled water if needed. Cook for further 10 minutes and then add the home made masala. Switch off the flame and enjoy hot.
