Mutton Do Pyaaza

There is nothing much to write today. Because we all have been down with a terrible flu all weekend. A flu that has hit us so hard and we could do nothing. Leave alone cooking.

Luckily I have a few recipes still waiting in my drafts, tried out a few days back. I will take this chance and post them this week as there has been nothing new to share.

Here I have a truly delish recipe with mutton. Something that's more suitable for dinners and can be accompanied with assorted breads. It adds flavor—not calories—to an easy weeknight meal with homemade rotis or breads .The flavor is amazing and healthy. It is like eating an exotic dish and I could give it a 10 stars if I could.

Once this onion filled gravy hits the grill, it's less than 15 minutes to yummy town!  So get ready to welcome this lovely dish called Mutton Do Pyaaza into your menu.
