KALI MIRCH MUTTON
Description
Mutton Kali Mirch, also known as Black Pepper Mutton, is a savory and aromatic Indian dish made with tender pieces of mutton or lamb cooked in a rich and flavorful gravy infused with black peppercorns. The dish gets its name from the generous use of black pepper, which adds a spicy kick and depth of flavor to the meat. The mutton is typically slow-cooked with a blend of spices, onions, garlic, ginger, and yogurt to create a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for serving with rice or roti.
