Spicy Mutton /Lamb Curry with Yogurt

This is a regular and common preparation my mother prepares almost once or twice in a month. This is juicy, thick gravy recipe which has been altime favourite items for Bengalis. In earlier days Bengalis used to offer this "SPICY MUTTON CURRY" for each and every parties, as it was a must. But now a days people become cautious about their health because of heart diseases, colesterol, tri-glyceride etc and avoiding red meats.
During last Bangali's New year I prepared this recipes for my entire family members and guests and the process that I followed is being described below as I don't want the usage of pressure cooker too much, but only for the purpose of final cooking.
