Southindian Style Potato Mutton Fry Recipe


Classic potato and mutton fry is a very famous southindian style side dish served for sambar rice or rasam rice, biryani and roti. Across south there are many variations in the same recipe with grated coconut, cashews, coconut oil, sesame oil or prepared with just ghee. I've also simplified the recipe and just used store bought garam masala.
