MOM style mutton Curry


This is my go-to recipe when I want to cook a simple and wholesome non-vegetarian meal for my family. The basic recipe for this dish is my Mom's so I know it is good as I grew up eating it. Mom would cook meat curry with goat meat (also called mutton in India).
The basic Mantra is using the equal amount of mutton and onions and absolutely no water,You get a nice and rich gravy made with onions and juices released from the mutton. Goat Curry or Mutton Curry is delicious served with plain rice and a salad . If you dry away the gravy, it tastes just as good with hot, freshly made rotis.

Ingredients:-

1)1 kg Mutton( Goat's shoulder side pieces )
2)1 kg Onion(cut in big chunks 1 medium sized onions cut into 4 pcs)
