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.
