Spicy Mutton Curry

This is a simple and easy mutton preparation. The bright red colour of the dish attracts you. The taste is just awesome. It tastes much more better the next day as all the masalas gets absorbed by the mutton.

The mutton in this dish will be very juicy and the dish is really flavourful. Always use fresh mutton as it will get cooked faster and tastes better. When compared to chicken, mutton takes more time to cook, so always use a pressure cooker while cooking them.

My daughter never used to like mutton...she is a chicken fan :) But this dish..... she loves a lot. Try it out and let me know how you liked it.

Method

• Now add coriander powder, kashmiri red chilli powder, red chilli powder and turmeric powder. Mix well.

Note:

1. Always add ginger garlic paste only after the onion is turned golden brown colour.
2. Use nice red tomatoes and kashmiri red chilli for this preparation, as the dish will be bright red colour.
3. Adjust gravy by adding water.

* I usually take the quantity of the ingredients as per my taste. So you can always adjust the spices as per your taste*
