Pour all the other ingredients in a separate bowl and mix well. Simply pour them all in the pressure cooker and mix well.
Ensure there is enough liquid at the bottom, so the meat does not stick.
Bring the pressure cooker to a boil/steam and when the indicator starts to move up, reduce the heat to a minimum.
Cook for 15-20 minutes and let the meat rest.
Ideal dish to prepare in advance – Simply reheat the preparation when your guests arrive.
The dish, like any curry gets even better the following day.
Freezes beautifully.
