Mutton Ghee Roast - Instant Pot
Mutton Ghee Roast - I absolutely adore south Indian curries, whether they come from Kerala or Mangalore, they are rich in spices and mellowed out typically with coconut. This Ghee roast does not contain cream like its north Indian counterparts but gets its rich buttery flavour from the ghee. This recipe uses almost 7 tbsps. of Ghee.
