Nothing can go wrong with a lamb curry cooked this traditional Bong way.The pieces of lamb mutton melting in the mouth and a spicy not so oily or greasy gravy with the flavor of green chilies and a sharp zing of mustard oil fills your whole house and your neighbor’s homes also with a aroma of meat while this curry is cooking in your kitchen.You suddenly start feeling very very hungry and this curry is traditionally served with steamed rice but you can serve it with any Indian flat breads.
Traditionally all the spices are hand ground as I had seen in my house since childhood but you can happily replace them with powder though you will lose some amount of flavor for sure.
While my mouth is still watering while I remember cooking this dish yesterday lets look at the ingredients
