Ingredients
Mutton and Spices
- 250 gm Mutton licious brand recommended
- 3 tbsp Pepper black
- 1/8 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1 tsp Salt
Aromatics and Liquids
- 1 cup Shallots diced
- 1 cup Curry Leaves
- 2 Chillies green, slit

Finishing Spice
- 1/2 tsp Garam Masala
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the mutton, black pepper, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
