The king of spices, it’s pepper that boosts up the flavor of Chettinadu Mutton Pepper Fry. Chettinad Mutton Pepper Fry pairs well with a series of rice dishes. Mutton pieces are marinated in a spicy tomato mixture. The marinated mutton is cooked in a hot kadai with seasonings until done. The cooked flavor loaded spicy gravy is garnished with crushed pepper and coriander leaves before serving. The freshly ground spices will fill your house with such an amazing flavor that even the most picky eaters will be tempted to try out the dish. Traditionally these spices were hand ground in a pestle. But these days all are busy and so we settle down to our own mode of grinding. Chettinad dishes are quite popular in South India and I admit am a great fan of these spicy dishes.
