    Mutton Kulambu

     
    One of the most requested recipe in YUMMY TUMMY is a proper mutton kulambu. I have been getting request for that from so many viewers. Last week I decided to give it a try. I made for my sister and we had an awesome lunch. 
     
    I pressure cooked mutton pieces with all the spices and a thick masala, this made the mutton so meltingly tender. If you have got a little time, let the gravy sit for a while so that the flavours will meld together and taste even more delicious. I served it with plain rice, but this taste equally delicious with aapam, idiappam, roti and paratha.

      Sooperb... I tried it. It came out very well. But one thing, after adding coconut don't have to cook for 20 to 30 minutes... It is enough if we cook for 10 minutes.
