Varutharacha Mutton Curry

My favourite curry  filled with endless nostalgia .....In my childhood whenever we went there in my mom's house, the breakfast menu in the first day includes pathiri with this ground fried coconut based curry in chicken or mutton prepared by my Grandma with her magical fingers....I like this mutton version more...coz in mutton  more bones are there...and the taste of the  juices ooze out from the bones is beyond our imagination...I miss her a lot and her masterpieces......There were different varieties of specialities she was preparing for we three...For me the VIP list is Spicy non veg curries, Chakka Varuthath.(Jack fruit fry) and her instant omlettes...

And this is a humble trial for recreating her magical taste...
