WHAT IS MUTTON MASALA CURRY?

It takes 10 minutes in the Instant pot to cook mutton.

HOW TO MAKE MUTTON MASLA CURRY?
WHAT TO SERVE THIS WITH?
- Naan/Chapati - Traditionally, served with naan, but naan is personally too heavy for me so I prefer chapati/roti. (My chapati recipe is coming up soon.)
WHAT TO PAIR THIS UP?
On a casual weeknight, Mutton Masala Curry is a star itself. However, when hosting a Dawat (party) I personally like to pair Instant Pot Mutton Biryani, Authentic Pakistani Mutton/Goat Karahi (Karahi Gosht), and Pakistani Mutton Korma (Qorma). Don't forget to make my famous Cilantro Tomato Yogurt Raita.
