easy mutton kuzhambu recipe, mutton kulambu, south indian style lamb gravy
Today's recipe is Mutton Kuzhambu. I made this kuzhambu on Wednesday, clicked the pictures, edited it and even, put an announcement in my FB page but it has taken me 2 days just to sit and finish the post. This time I was not busy with anything, just the laziness that sets in because of the cold weather. We are all non- veg lovers at home, especially my daughter loves mutton. But I make it once in 2 weeks only, that is 2 times a month- it will be mutton Biryani, or mutton fry or this mutton kulambu. Only now it strikes, I haven't tried anything new with mutton. May be will try, test and then post. For now, enjoy this delicious kuzhambu.
