Notes:

• I have used small onions and red onion in this recipe; you can add the same or just add small onions or common red onions
• There is no coriander powder added in this recipe, so the gravy depends on the amount of onion you use, if you want more gravy add more onions
• Adjust chilly powder according to taste
• Cooking time may vary depending on the mutton
• The same recipe can be followed for chicken gravy too
