Mutton pepper fry – a tasty recipe for mutton lovers. My husband is hard core mutton fan and loves this pepper fry. So I made this today. This can be served with dosa, chapathi, or with rice. I made this for lunch today. Usually I serve this with plain rice and rasam, but today my daughter wanted peas pulao and hubby wanted mutton. So I made this mutton pepper fry and served with peas pulao, which definitely sounds like a weird combination, but believe me, everyone enjoyed it at home. Finally I served everyone with a glass of cold shikanji. I had some mutton remaining which I served with paper roast for night and that was also a super hit.
Method of preparing mutton roast is very easy. First roast all the ingredients for spice mixture, grind with little water. Marinate the mutton in the ground mixture for half an hour.
