I alternate between using lamb meat and mutton meat. This recipe works for both types of meat. The difference between lamb and mutton meat is the age. Lamb meat is from sheep that are less than one year old whereas mutton meat is typically three years or older.
Lamb is more tender than mutton so requires less cooking time. So, if you do decide to use lamb instead, be sure to alter the cooking times accordingly.
The sauce of this lamb masala curry tastes so good. Depending on your own personal preference, you can adjust the amount of water that you add. You can add less to make it a thick gravy or more for a thin masala gravy sauce.

So glad I came across this recipe! Have been missing the taste of my family’s cooking and this brought it all back – very authentic to what I grew up with. Super delicious, can’t wait to make it again and to try your other recipes Nabeela!
I just saw this recipe and put it on my list for curry soon. One question, though …. Can I use minced garlic and ginger rather than paste?
