Notes

You can do the entire cooking process in a pressure cooker rather than using a separate pan.
Mutton should be pressure cooked in its own moisture/water content. Adding too much water will result in a loose gravy. Still, if you would like to have more gravy, add only hot water.
You can add pepper powder to make it more spicy.
If you do not have shallots, add more sliced onions. Shallots are added to balance the sweetness of too much onion.
Substitute meat masala with garam masala powder, if you do not have the former handy.
Also, add a tsp of coconut oil in the end to enhance the flavour.
