Mutton Curry

The meat just falls off the bone in this flavour packed mutton curry. There are two steps to getting the meat this juicy and tender. First is the marination step in which lime and ginger tenderizes the meat prior to cooking. Then there’s the long cooking time which helps break down the fibers of the meat.

In our recipe we’ve used Currymia Frozen Bone In Mutton Cubes which we got from one of our partners Standard & Origin (S&O). The meat has a fresh, clean smell and when cooked, it’s not rubbery at all.
