NOTE:

-----------

1. You can also pressure cook the yam separately for 4-5 whistles and add it to the Kurma at step 4,  to save time.

2. The no.of whistles depends on the mutton and pressure cooker you use. I used steel pressure cooker this time, so I cooked for 10 whistles. Usually I cook Mutton only for 8 whistles in aluminium pressure cooker.
