Dry roast the chillies
In a pressure cooker, add ghee, followed by the onions and salt. Saute them for 6-7 minutes or until golden brown. Then add the whole garlic and the tomatoes.

Add the roasted spices and chillies to the cooker followed by water (1 cup) and let it boil for 2-3 minutes, or until the chillies have softened. Transfer everything to a blender and blend until smooth.
Add the paste back to the pressure cooker and add water (1 Cup). Add the mutton and a bay leaf to the cooker and bring it to a boil. Close the pressure cooker and pressure cook for 12-15 whistles on a medium low heat.
Once the pressure has naturally released, open the lid and add jaggery and salt. Mix to combine well and then remove the mutton pieces and place onto a plate.

To assemble, first dip the parotta and the gravy and then place it in a pan Add cheese and the shredded mutton, followed by the salsa.
