Mutton Kuzhambu

மட்டன் குழம்பு (Mutton Kuzhambu)

Mutton Kuzhambu is a simple gravy suitable for rice as well as any tiffin item. This is an easy method to prepare. Today I prepared this gravy with ground coconut paste. This can be prepared with coconut milk as well and the difference in taste will be really huge. I like both and here is the recipe.
