Hope you all enjoyed your week end!! Today I bring you a new recipe called Indian spiced mutton stew / curry. As I always mention, marinate meat for over night with yogurt & other spices, which helps to tenderize & get more flavors to meat. I used Kashmir red chili powder which give bright red color to the dish. In India, we always use meat with bone, this helps give more flavor & taste to the stew / curry & also exercise to our teeth by chewing the bone.

This spicy mutton stew / curry goes very well with steamed rice, naan, chapathi or bread, idly, dosa etc.,

I used pressure cooking method, it is best & easy way of cooking for mutton or any red meat. This method helps to keep the flavors inside of the meat.

Adjust the spice level according to your palate. You can also check Mutton Briyani.

Happy Cooking !!

Bon Appetite !!!
