PEPPER POTATO AND MUTTON CURRY

Pepper Potato and Mutton Curry is a delicious Mutton curry made with a base of Tomatoes, Onions and Pepper.  This is a traditional recipe that I learnt from my Mother-in-law. Pepper Potato and Mutton Curry is a spicy curry that you can serve with either White cooked rice or Roti/ Naan. This curry also goes well with Idli, dosa, upma, etc.

I make this curry for both Lunch and Dinner. During Ramadan, I make this Pepper Potato and Mutton curry for Seher and serve with either rice or chapathi/ Roti. 

So, let's move on to the recipe of making Pepper Potato and Mutton curry.
