Soak Cashew nuts for 15 minutes.

Heat oil in a pressure cooker. Add Onion, Green Chilli and Ginger Garlic paste. Saute till wilted. Add Coriander powder and Pepper power. Saute till the raw smell is gone. Mix Mutton and water. Add salt. Close the cooker and cook Mutton well.

Grind Coconut and Cashew nuts into a paste. I add the stock of the Mutton to grind it. You can use water also. But do not add too much water as this curry has a thick creamy gravy.

Once you open the Cooker, put it back on the stove and add the ground paste, Garam masala and Tomato. Boil well for 2 minutes. Add Coriander leaves and switch off the flame. Close and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
