Ingredients:

1. Mutton - 1 kg

2. Onions - 2

3. Green chilli

4. Ginger

5. Garlic

6. Tomatoes

7. Capsicum

8. Basmati rice - 1kg

9. Egg

10. Curd

11. Pepper powder

12. Coriander leaves

13. Mint leaves

14. Salt to taste

Masalas required:

1. Meat masala - 2 tablespoon

2. Chili powder - 1 tablespoon

3. Corinder powder - 1 table spoon

4. Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon

5. Olive oil (any oil)

6. Cardamom

7. Cinnamon sticks

Procedure:

                   First lets start with the marination for Mutton. Clean and cut the mutton into small pieces and keep aside. Take thick curd and add in to the mutton. Add the following ingredients aswell 2 tablespoon of pepper powder, Salt, little chilli powder and mix nicely. Keep for marination overnight or atleast 4-5 hrs.

                  Now slice the onions finely. Chop green chilli, tomatoes  into small pieces then crush the garlic and ginger. Take a pan and heat oil. Splutter mustard then add the chopped green chilli, crushed Ginger and garlic and saute for few seconds. After that add the sliced onions into it and stir till it becomes slightly brown in color. Now heat the Meat masala, Chili powder, Turmeric powder and Coriander  powder. Add this lightly roasted masalas into the Onion and mix. Next add  the tomatoes and cook all this together for some 5 minutes to form a thick gravy.

                  Take the cooker add the marinated mutton into it, also add some chopped corinder and cook it. Allow it to go for 5-6 whistles. Once its cooked  pour it into the gravy .  Cook on medium flame for few minutes to make the gravy thicker. Meanwhile cook the basmati rice. For saving time  I used rice cooker to cook rice. Otherwise, soak the rice for almost 30 mnts in water. Then take 2 ltr of water and cook the rice.  Either ways we can cook it as per our convenience. 

               Take some Ghee in a pan and heat the Cashew nuts and raisins, keep it aside. Now slice little onions into very thin pieces and sprinkle little rice flour on it and deep fry it. Remember to remove the onions from the pan before it gets darker in color inside the pan, because after taking out the onions from oil it tends to get darker. So if we take it out after it had already become dark in oil, then when we take it out it will be black in color. Chop some mint and corinder leaves and keep aside. Boil Eggs and slice it into 2 pieces.

            Now take a big vessel, place it on very low flame. Put little Ghee and spread a layer of  rice then spread some mutton pieces on it. Put little Mint leaves, Corinder leaves,Cashewnuts, Raisins, Cardamon and Cinnamon stick. Again put some Ghee here and there, then  spread rice then mutton on top again put little Mint leaves, Corinder leaves,Cashewnuts, Raisins, Cardamon and Cinnamon stick. Repeat this process till the rice ends on top. Now on top again add Raisins, Cashewnuts, Mint leaves and keep the eggs. Also spread the fried onions. Put some Ghee again then cover it and keep for sometime on very low flame.
