OK all spicy curry lovers ATTENTION, please!

This is an amazing mutton masala curry recipe to follow. By the way, just in case you’re wondering what does the term “Masala” means? It means a thickened gravy with yogurt,garam masala(a combination of cloves, cardamom, cumin, cinnamon sticks, and nutmeg) and other spices added in. It is used in practically most meat dishes, especially in Biryani (rice dish with meat and spices)which is quite popular in Asia.

Today you will learn to make the most loved non-vegetarian curry dish in India and other parts of Asia. Mutton can be goat meat or lamb meat with bones mostly, today I will be using Goat cubes with bone. I prefer goat over lamb as the texture is softer than Lamb and the taste is better too.

In this dish, I will show you a simple way of getting the taste of India to your dinner tables. I remember growing up in India with my family, every Sunday would be a day we got to eat non-vegetarian dishes like (mutton, chicken fish, etc), It surely was a treat cause the rest of the days my mom would mostly cook rice and lentils and some vegetable curry. We would wait patiently for Sundays to come! here’s a little taste into my childhood. Check out the recipe, do let me know if you tried it at home in the comment section below.
