How to do - 

Heat the  mustard oil in the pressure cooker, fry few onion  slices  with meat pieces  till it turn  golden brown. Mix ginger - garlic paste and stir  a little . Now add  onion paste, turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder,  ripe chopped tomato, salt and some water( 1/2 cup)  let it cook  for a while , parch it well When oil started coming on the  gravy, add pieces of  torie ,mix it well altogether with  gravy. do not add water  as torie  would  release its own water in good  quantity. Close the lid of pressure cooker and bring it to 4-5 whistle on the low  flame. turn off the heat, let the lid open itself. 

When the lid open, check meat , if  it is well cooked and turn soft, then dries up water which oozed out  from torie .

Do not forget  to stir time to time other wise  gravy  will burn on the  bottom of the pressure cooker, adjust salt according to your taste. Parch is well (you can  add some cooking oil if it is required as non veg. dishes  need enough oil to parch) When oil started coming on the edges, turn off  the heat. take it out in the bowl , garnish it with green  coriander leaves Enjoy the yummy taste of  Torie- Gosht with  roti (bread) and plain rice.
