To prepare this popular Hyderabadi delicacy, wash and soak the broken wheat or dalia for half an hour. Trim the mutton (boneless) of any excess fat. Add the mutton in a pressure cooker with about 1 cup water and put it over medium flame. Fry the onion until golden brown and set aside.

To the mutton, add 1/2 tbsp of ginger and garlic paste, half a tsp of salt, red chilli powder, half a tsp of garam masala powder and a pinch of turmeric powder. Pressure cook the mixture for 8-10 min and simmer for another 15-20 mins. Shred and keep aside

Boil the broken wheat along with urad, chana dal, toor dal, and yellow moong daal with a tbsp of ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, 2-3 green chillies, and peppercorns in 8-10 cups of water until it's cooked completely and the water is absorbed. Blend this mix for a few seconds.

Heat the oil in another container, add whole spices including cinnamon stick, cooked and shredded lamb, remaining green chillies, half a cup fresh coriander and saute for 2-3 minutes. Add curd and saute for another 10-15 minutes. Add three cups of water and bring to a boil.

To this, add the blended Dalia and dal mixture and mix well while adding a little ghee as you go. Let it simmer and cook slowly for at least half an hour. Serve hot, garnished with fried onions we prepared in step 1, mint leaves,, lemon wedges and the remaining fresh coriander
