Kerala Mutton Curry prepared in traditional style is a special aromatic dish that goes well with almost anything. Mutton pieces are cooked in a blended mixture of roasted red chillies and other ingredients. Kerala Mutton curry cooked in Nadan style is a very popular non-vegetarian side dish in Kerala cuisine. Mutton curry as the name implies, is prepared with meat chunks cooked in a fried red chilly spicy blend. Sauteing the cooked mutton pieces in sufficient oil along with ginger, garlic and other spicy condiments tenderizes the meat granting it the unique flavor and taste.
Kerala mutton curry is a favorite with Malayalees that goes well with porotta, chappathi, naan and even rice. Tender mutton is pinkish in color with a soft texture and this is recommended for preparing nadan mutton curry. Goat meat is relatively low in fat and cholesterol compared to beef, and pork.

Wow….Itsareal gud recipe…it came out well…my husband enjoyed the dinner…a must try recipe…
I`m not a cook, but sometimes loves to try something. First time it didn`t turned out like the exclusive kerala taste and look (Kind of North Indian taste). I figured out that I put the tomato/onion in excess in the end and overcooked it.
Second time I avoided it and added just a bit of onion fried in coconut oil in the end, and it turned out EXCELLENT !!!!!!!
Simple and Delicious, I recommend that every one should try this out.
