METHOD
FOR CUTTING THE PASANDAS :

Clean, wash and wipe the meat, cut into pieces 2 ½ by 3 ½ “and ¼ “thick.
Flatten the pieces first by beating with a rolling pin and then with back of a mutton knife. Shape them into rectangles

FOR STUFFING :

Heat ghee and fry the finely chopped onions till golden in colour.
Add the roughly chopped almonds, pistachios, cashew nuts, green chilies, ginger, red pepper, garam masala and salt. Stir for 2-3 minutes.
Remove from the fire and divide the mixture into as many parts as there are pasandas.

FOR PASANDA :

Dust the pasandas with the seasoning consisting of salt, red pepper and garam masala. Place one part of the stuffing over each and roll it up.
Tie with a piece of thread to prevent the stuffing from coming out.
Roll the pasandas in a mixture of flour, red pepper, and salt and garam masala.
Heat ghee and fry the pasindas a few at a time till golden in colour.

FOR GRAVY :

Reheat the ghee and fry the onions till they are brown.
Add dessert spoonful water and fry till water dries up.
Then add a red pepper, stir and add a table spoonful of water.
Fry till the mixture is dried up. Mix turmeric, salt and ground coriander seeds to the curd and whip it properly, add this curd a little at a time till the whole of it is utilized and the mixture is dry.
Add the fried pasandas and continue frying by adding the garlic and ginger paste, sauté well. Sprinkle garam masala and add a cup of water.
Pressure-cook for 12 minutes at 15 1b pressure and allow the pressure to drop by itself.
An alternative is to cook in a pan on slow fire, keeping a little water on the lid, till the pasindas are tender.
Serve sprinkle with chopped coriander leaves and ground roasted black cumin seeds along with hot naan.
