Though in our traditional method we have additional ingredients than what is given below, when my sissy...(Ani) came this weekend we tried out our traditional version of Mutton Kuzhambu in her simple method which turned out really tasty. Mutton generally carries good amount of important vitamins,minerals & with its high amount of unsaturated fat,helps to lower the bad cholesterol and increasing good cholesterol level in our body.It is good for immune system and cell health.It protects from free radicals,provides lot of protein and energy.

Note:

• Add water according to your requirement of consistency.
• I made the curry little watery to be used for both Idli and Briyani.
• Wash the mutton pieces clean,such that they do not have any blood clots over it.
• Do not wash the pieces too much on water as they would loose thier taste.
• Add few pieces with fat which adds taste to the curry. This is most important care to be noted for tasty curry.
