Simple and Easy Mutton Curry

This is my Mom’s version of mutton curry which I used to cherish from childhood. The smell of this yummy curry will awaken our taste buds and the nostalgic feeling that surrounds this delicious dish is awesome. When I was small, my mom used to make this often and the aroma of this dish drag me towards the kitchen and I used to steal mutton pieces :-)

As my mom is here with me nowadays, she made it and the magic was created again, which would not have happened if I made the same way as she made the curry. Try this out and you will get the magic… Btw, this time the mutton pieces were stolen by my li’l one… :-)
