Karara Mutton

Everytime I get mutton, I want to try out a new recipe. I saw this delicious recipe of Karara Mutton by Tejal Suvarna and I instantly knew I wanted to try this.

My favourite mutton dish is from my friend Sahana Shivprasad Shetty hotel Shelter and trust me when I tell u that it’s irresistible. I hope to recreate that some day. When I read Tejals recipe it sounded interesting and I hoped it would come close to the Shelter hotel one.
It’s different but that doesn’t stop it from being quite delicious. Made just a few changes to her recipe but in essence it’s hers only. The best thing is that u can use the stock to flavour ur rice and that’s what we paired it with.
