“The fewer ingredients, the better taste” is true for Mutton Kothu Kari which is one of my favorites. This is one of the Sunday Non-Veg specials at my home. As and when the mutton starts to cook the aroma fills the home and makes you real hungry. I generally have it with steamed white rice or chapathi. I used home made curry masala and fresh ground ginger garlic paste to get the real taste of mom’s cooking. The secret of getting a better taste for any recipe is to add the fresh ground ginger garlic paste, you’ll definitely notice the difference.

I used minced goat meat which is normally done from thigh meat. I got this from Halal Market which tasted similar to what we get back home in India.

Mutton 1 lb ( 1/2 kg )

  2. Step 2
