Ginger Mutton Sukka / Dry mutton curry

Presenting a super tempting recipe , one of the brainchild recipe of my dad. He is self taught and does all kind of experiment and re creates any boring dish into super yummy and delicious recipe. He lost his parents at very young age, so for me and sister we have seen him helping my mom with all kind of household work along with his regular work ,usually which men are reluctant to do.

(Though most or all of the restaurants, usually it is mens who are chefs , yet at home you will find women who play this role. )

Weekends were always special , i use love being his helper with all the things he needed , as per his instruction. This is the reason why i love and drawn towards cooking so much .

I am sure there must be something you love, that you learnt from your parents ??

Still any chance he gets he cooks up a storm , though cleaning up the after math is what female best at ;)

Any Non.Veg recipes tastes good when it is spicy . So don't pull back those onion, black peppers and herbs which go along . The more you add in the more the flavor.
