Description
Kari podi roast . Every year after eid ul azha our home is over loaded with mutton in the freezer and we end up experimenting in every possible way . This dish was such an experiment done by my mom after this eid ul azha that is a sensational recipe bursting with mouth watering flavours . served to us for lunch which took our table by a storm for all the meat lovers . ( except my veggie daughter :-)) ) The mutton was rightly spiced and roasted to perfection mildly crisp on the outside and a tender yielding inside with the coconut flavour coming through along with a feel of slow burn singing the sides of our tongue . The shredded meat broke the monotony of having bite size pieces of meat cooked and served as usual . This authentic voyage of flavours never ever fails , leaving enough for us to abandon our doubts .
