You cannot just serve them any mutton preparation — it better be good in terms of everything, texture and juiciness to flavour. Indians are especially big fans of mutton, and the many legendary mutton preparations are proof. From laal maas to kosha mangsho to mutton biryani, there is really no dearth of enticing mutton delicacies in this country, and you can safely add this mutton bhuna masala to the list as well.
