Spicy Mutton Curry Recipe
Spicy Mutton Curry
It was one of those days when Dad wanted to eat a simple mutton curry and so did Sidhant. However, between Dad and Mom, neither wanted to do it. So, 500 grams of mutton was promptly deposited on my table and with a demand for spicy mutton curry.
I wanted to do something snappy, spicy and fragrant which went well with rice which is usually present on our lunch table. Today, I worked with powdered spices, steered clear of whole spices and added a twist at the end.
The resultant was major appreciation during lunch, where Dad actually said that the spicy mutton curry was better than the way he makes it.

Notes
- Almost any cut of lamb can be used for lamb stews and curries, but the shoulder is best.
- Ensure, mutton pieces are cut into the same size, this helps in cooking the cuts throughout evenly.
- Modify the number of spices as per your preferences. Some people like it heavy on spices and chillies and some don't.
- Always, sear the meat pieces on high flames for 2-3 minutes. This seals the juices inside the meat.
- Once the masala is ready, add water as per the consistency of gravy you love to eat.
