When you have been cooking mutton regularly? You should crown yourself as a mutton queen or king. Hahahaha! Jokes aside. Honestly, you should. I have already in fact (Mutton Peratal, Mutton Dalca, Muton Kurma, Masala Mutton Curry & Mutton Keema). Moreover, trust me, you will confidently coin your own mutton recipes. Of course, mutton style of cooking in an Indian household? Must be in a gravy and must be spicy, though you do have options to dry style mutton. Pepper Mutton Curry.  I am not saying anything. I shall leave it up to you. Nevertheless, I am assuming you must be salivating right now?

  4. How you make me miss home Nava! We cannot find Indian curry here in Argentina. They don´t eat spicy food! I am an Indian friend in South Africa and she always sends me traditional Indian curry. My husband did not know what it tasted like and now he is also hooked. Luckily they keep me in supply and every time a friend visits from South Africa, I get a few packets.
