Today, as I sat down to clear all the used pictures from my camera storage card, I came across some pictures. That’s when I realised that some of the recipes from my collection haven’t seen the light of the day 🙂  I had made Kolhapuri Masala powder to make Kolhapuri Mutton curry. Unfortunately, I hadn’t documented the process of the Mutton Curry for some reason. I do remember D coming to the kitchen to ask what was being prepared and said ” Whatever it is you’re preparing, it smells heavenly”. Needless to say, the curry was well received by my boys.

I got the recipe from Indianyug. I intend to make the Kolhapuri Mutton curry again as soon as I have stocked up all the needed ingredients.
