Chettinad Lamb curry

Chettinad lamb or mutton curry 


Little history would be more appropriate for this recipe. In TamilNadu, karaikudi (Place) is popular for the chettinad food, chettinad house etc. The chettinad cuisine is well known for the tasty spicy dishes. Their food is prepared with freshly grinded masala. Well, the Chettinad Chicken is one of the famous dish. But i love to make this recipe with mutton, egg, even vegetables. For the vegetarian people, definetly the Karai Kozhambu will be in another post.
