Put the lid of the pan and allow it to cook for the next 45-50 mins time while, stirring occasionally in between & checking out on the meat to be well cooked & tender enough

Alternatively, to save time- You can pressure cook the same with 4-5 whistles & then, continue with the rest of the procedures (But I always prefer slow cooking the same for the best results without using the pressure cooker at all)

Open the lid now: Check on the meat & add in the Thick Coconut Milk, at this point & also some more water to adjust the gravy consistency, as per your own choice
