Mutton Fry/Mutton Sukka Varuval

Its been a while since I posted a non-veg recipe and DH likes mutton sukka but I cook it rarely due to health conscious.Last week we got mutton from halal shop and made the mutton fry.This is a dry version which goes very well with rasam rice and curd rice or biriyani.As my parents are here for a visit I am enjoying my mom's cooking and she made this fry for us.Since there was no charge in the camera,when she was making I couldn't take the stepwise pictures,will update it soon.Here is the recipe.....
