Mutton Kulambu


Hope this going to be my last post of this year. Going for a vacation, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my friends. Meet you all next year will more recipes.

Mutton is good in protein and by the same time has more cholesterol. I am not a big fan of mutton but after marriage in my place I don’t get mutton often might be this is the reason for my craving. So when ever I get a chance I use to buy 8-10 pounds and store in my freezer. We had this mutton kulambu for lunch 2 weeks before.

Mutton

Onion chopped
¼ cup
Curry leaves
