- Pressure cook for 3-5 whistles, till the mutton is almost done. Allow the pressure to go by itself.
- Open the lid, add in the vegetable chunks. Adjust the seasoning. Close and cook for one whistle. Take off and allow the presure to go. By this time, the mutton should fall off its bone and the vegetables should be cooked but still in shape.

- To serve, layer dish with regaag or saj bread. Pour the stew only all over the bread for it to soak. Top with the mutton chunks and vegetable. Dig in.
Notes
Make sure to cut the vegetables based on its cooking time. I cut the potatoes, pumpkin and koosa into big chunks since they cook faster and the carrots into meduim roundrels so adjust the cooking.
You can replace the mutton with chicken. In this case, cook everything together.
