Notes: 

1. Here you can add onion and tomato before adding mutton pieces also. No harm in it, Since we are going to pressure cook all. 

2. The 6 whistles took around 14 min for me. It might vary based on the cooker and the quality of mutton. if If the mutton is not cooked, add some more water and pressure cook it again for another 7 to 8 min. 

3. Take care while adding salt as the mutton already contsins salt. 

4. Adding butter is optional, but I feel it enhances the taste. Salted or unsalted butter can used. While using salted butter again take care of the salt amount while adding. 

5. I used the mutton cooked water for preparing soup. But my mom used to say if we leave that water in it, the mutton would be more tasty.

But I wanted to have some light food and I searched my fridge for the veggies. I found the baby cucumbers lying in the corner. First thought of doing the cucumber lassi, but I am short of yogurt. So finally ended up preparing this Cucumber Tomato Salad. So my lunch was just the salad and 2 slices of bread. The remaining salad I kept in fridge for the night and finished it.
