Cabbage And Mutton Curry
A simple satisfying old fashioned curry everyone will definitely enjoy. This has got to be the one time I definitely have a slice of white bread and some vinegar chillies on the side. Remember you don’t want to much of a thin gravy. You go to use those melting potatoes, lots of onions and large ripe jam tomatoes to get a thick braised like gravy. The spices are approximate amounts. For me I prefer to use mutton for my curries and lamb for my grills.
