Warli Style Mutton Curry

Hello Everyone !! This is my last post for the year 2014 🙂 and the first mutton dish am posting in my blog.

I made this over the weekend for my hubby, he loves mutton and so do I 🙂 Had never cooked mutton before marriage, but yeah !! Marriage does strange things to people, and I had to try out on hubby’s demand as he’s an ardent lover of mutton !! 😛

When it comes to mutton, I usually prefer a nice and flavorful curry which goes well with rice as well as roti. Its comforting for a lazy weekend lunch 🙂

I adapted this recipe from “Aditya bal’s” show “Chak de India”. My kitchen was filled with such lovely aromas, I was waiting myself to complete it soon and dig into it.
