Mutton Fry Recipe
by Food Like Amma, May 14, 2020
Mutton Fry, or as Amma called it ‘braised mutton’, is deboned mutton pieces browned with onion and pungent spices. A combination of fresh green chillies, ginger, garlic and powdered spices. This forms a thick sauce like coating around the mutton pieces. It may contain tomato but is not a necessity. Amma usually made this dish for my father’s ‘bites’, as an accompaniment to alcohol. Other bites included offal like liver braised in onion and spice. Unlike Amma's Durban Mutton Curry, braised mutton fry has less gravy. It is best enjoyed with Parotta or Roti.
Durban Mutton Curry With Potatoes Recipe
by Food Like Amma, April 17, 2020
Mutton curry like Amma’s Durban Chicken Curry was characterized by its red colour and fiery taste. As kids we grew accustomed to the pungent taste by eating a little gravy mixed with potato,rice and small pieces of meat. Like most prime meats, Mutton Curry was reserved for Sunday lunch! If we were expecting visitors on that day Amma would bring out her best amber serving dish and no mutton curry was complete without a topping of fresh coriander from the garden. Amma’s mutton curry often contained a combination of potatoes and peas, guthera beans or broad beans. On occasion she added dumplings or made mutton and cabbage curry.
