Homemade Mutton Curry

 Mutton Curry is quite a common recipe, every family has their own variety and significance. This is our take, being born in a Bengali family we tend to make meals that can feed the complete family. So the use of potatoes in the curry increases the volume, let it sit over time, the potatoes tend to suck that flavorful gravy, making it quite delicious to eat with rice and chapati. Its important to note that the cooking time of mutton is more than that of chicken. If you are in a hurry you can cook it in a pressure cooker, but we generally prefer to cook in a kadai on medium flame for longer time period. Cooking on a slow flame makes sure that the meat is properly cooked and the flavours become more prominent.
