      No i have not added any water in the pressure cooker because I have put all the left over marinade and if we will add water the meat will smell.
      it will take around 30 mins on low heat…..

    good recipe for a try! but pressure cooking, it means we drying all meat juices while it shrinks the (leg/Rann) too.
    second don’t we use any tenderizer?

        you are right…. but then the meat will be chewy. If you will add it, the meat will be tender and melt in mouth. Thanks 🙂
