Mutton Masala a basic and simple Mutton recipe with fresh ground masala. Mutton Masala pairs well with the Mutton Gravy and Plain rice. The best thing about this recipe is that it does not require any marination, still it tastes awesome. Juicy Pieces of mutton are very well suitable for this recipe. I generally separate the bones and the fleshy portion of mutton and make the bones into Mutton Gravy and the fleshy portion into this Mutton Masala. Mutton is cooked with onion, tomato and freshly ground spices. The fresh masala makes the dish simply aromatic. I am sure you would love this recipe. Here goes the recipe...

- Increase or decrease the Dry red chillis according to your spice requirements. Mine was a spicy masala.
