    Its a delicious punjabi dish. I have cooked it all my life. To shorten the cooking time,after you add and saute mutton in the onion, garlic , ginger masala, cook it in pressure cooker for 12 to 15 minutes,depending on the quality of the mutton. Then add methi and spinach and let cook for 5 to 7 minutes. You can either use both methi and spinach or just one of them. You can use Paneer , fried or Tikka or simple in place of mutton. Only do not pressure cook in that case. Tip :When you buy mutton look for pinkish mutton. The darker the colour, the harder to cook, and to chew. Tip : When browning the paste of onion and garlic.....add ginger when the other two are almost brown, to avoid it sticking to the bottom of your pan.
