When we were kids we used to enjoy ‘Star-lit Dinner’ once in a while. We, along with our parents, would carry dinner to the terrace and enjoy the food under the ‘Stars’. Later we all would lie down, watch the stars and sing old songs. Those were the good old days!!!
It was for one of those ‘Star-lit Dinner’ episodes that I made Mangalorean Mutton Curry for the first time. Even though I do not recollect the source of the recipe, I know that it is a definite winner. This curry can be made with the meat of your choice and can be had with rice, chapathi, poori etc.
