When I tasted it for the first time, I never knew that mutton might be prepared in this manner also. It was not spicy by nature. Nevertheless there was proper blending and the dish had excellent flavor acquired by the addition of coriander and fennel seeds' powders. The meat cooked in milk enhances the taste and gives an extraordinary taste to the meat pieces.
