ABOUT KONKANI MUTTON CURRY RECIPE

I love the non-veg curries from the Southern Coastal regions. Most of them are coconut based and spicy and can be served with rice, akki rotis, dosas and appams. Here is a Konkan style mutton curry. My version is milder. You can increase the spice level as per your liking.
