Mutton is a treat for non veg Lovers. According to me curries made with mutton would be finger licking, rich and delicious. The Appetizing aroma of mutton curry makes me even more hungrier. I got this Green Mutton Masala recipe from a TV show, tried it once and it turned out very good in the very first try. It is as easy as it is. The Main ingredients in this dish are pudina and coriander leaves which makes this dish come out green in colour. I prepared this dish and had it with Coconut milk Pulao. Both Green mutton and coconut milk Pulao tasted awesome together. Mouth watering. Do try once i am sure you would definitely like it. . Here goes the recipe…
