The first time I heard of Mutton Rezala was on Madhur JaffreyÂ’s show on TV. Rezala is a traditional Bangladeshi recipe for a classic meat-based curry in curd, flavoured with cardamom, cloves, garlic, ginger and chillies. Even though it has its origins in Bangladesh, it has a Mughlai influence in its taste and preparation. This dish goes well with rice, naan, roti etc.
The mutton needs to be marinated atleast for a few hours for the flavours to really come together. I stuck truly to the recipe and the result was a lip-smacking curry for lunch.
