Mutton Kulambu

In my blog, so far mutton Biriyani was the recipe which has most visits, obviously it’s everyone’s favourite too same as that, mutton curry is also everyone’s favourite cuisine. There are lots of ways to prepare mutton kulambu but the challenge is about the taste. I like preparing mutton curries prepared in village style. After trying no of times and types, I found this way of making mutton kulambu is a real great taste in “My Kitchen”. The only challenge in making mutton kulambu is the time for baking the mutton as usually it takes much time to bake it properly; it depends on the type of mutton used. I made this with 5 whistles, as mutton curries will be best only if it’s baked well.

"The more time you marinate the mutton pieces, it will give more taste.

You can also grind onion, tomatoes without frying however frying will give you excess taste.

You can adjust the chili powder how much spicy you need in it."
