ABOUT Mutton Do Pyaza RECIPE

Mutton Do Pyaza is a dish prepared on special occasions and more so as it was introduced to me by my mom in law. This dish is mild but full of aromas and flavours, the richness in the gravy comes from the almond paste, yogurt, saffron strands, whole spices and loads of onions. It goes well with both rice and rotis.
