RECIPE
Several people use mustard oil in making this lip-smacking delicacy; however, ghee brings out the true flavours of mutton and makes it tender and delicious. Punjabi cuisine itself is very famous for its garam masala, which is prepared by dry roasting all the whole spices and grinding to a fine powder. This garam masala brings a strong touch Punjabi food culture in any dish. Any cut of lamb is good for this curry, but shoulder works best as it has the best flavor and tenderizes really well.
