I had contemplated preparing this dish long back but as mutton or male goat’s meat is prepared only during festivals, my family likes to relish only on traditional preparations. The color is fab and the flavors and texture are unique, retaining the aroma of meat. The whole spices enhance the flavors of the spinach gravy. The recipe is not authentic, its entirely mine intuition and the flavors paired up well as I had wanted.
