Note

Ensure the mutton pieces are cleaned, boneless, and cut into small pieces before cooking. This will help in even cooking and better texture.

While cooking the mutton filling, remember to stir occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pan and ensure even cooking.

When rolling the mutton filling in the spring roll wrappers, ensure they are tightly rolled to prevent any filling from leaking out during frying.
