Mutton curry is one of the most delicious and popular nonvegetarian dish relished by mutton lovers in India. Wherein mutton or goat meat is cooked in a flavorful thick gravy.
Being born and brought up in Odisha, no special occasion is complete without this curry on the platter. For them, mutton curry to a nonveg platter is a delight. Mutton is slightly tough meat. Slow cooking over a low flame is the key to get a succulent, tender, juicy mutton curry. It is believed that a perfect mutton curry needs time, love and patience while cooking. The making of the masala/gravy is the crucial step. The masala has to be cooked well, before adding the mutton pieces.
Serve this curry as a side dish with some piping hot rice, roti, naan or paratha and do let me know your thoughts and experiences.

    Perfect gravy. It looks so good. With those spices, the house must have filled with that gravy aroma. After seeing your post, I really miss my mom food now. This month we (some part of Tamilians) don't eat non veg. I am really missing 🙁
