Spicy Mutton Curry

We seldom have mutton dishes for our meals but when we crave for mutton the first thing that comes to my mind is this super spicy mutton curry. The full bodied curry are bursting with flavor to suit my tastebud. I made this beautiful spicy mutton curry for our Sunday lunch and everyone in the family loves it.

Freshly grated coconut roasted lightly to balances the spiciness of the gravy. The gravy are thick and slightly creamy and thanks to the coconut for the wonderful job. All the authentic Indian spices added to the gravy gives a wonderful aromatic flavor and texture to the delicious mutton curry. Serve along white plain rice and a dish of stir fry vegetable or raita and you are good to go.
