Add dalia, salt, ¾ cup fried onions and mix. Add 6 cups water and when the mixture comes to a boil add rice, 2 tbsps coriander leaves and 2 tbsps mint leaves and mix.
Step 5
Add garam masala powder and mix. Cover the cooker with the lid and cook under pressure till 6-7 whistles are given out.
Step 6
Let it stand for 15-20 minutes before opening the lid. By now the mutton will be very soft.
