Pakistani Mutton & Egg Masala

Its mothers day today and since i have been travelling a bit, i decided to pamper the family instead of vice versa.

A while ago, someone had sent a file of Pakistani recipes which i had saved. This is the only recipe i had tried from the file and it was well received by my family. At that time we landed up finishing the dish with barely anything left for pictures for a blog post. So decided to make it again and ensured that i removed some so i could click some pics.

On my recent trip to Mussourie I bought that wooden board and was waiting for an occasion to use it. Its just perfectly placed here in the pictures

 

The mutton masala is tangy and earthy and eggs always go well in any meat gravy.
