A Fiery dish that will make you sweat
This is one dish that will make you sweat. The spice level takes you straight to Andhra land. When we were in Delhi, we used to frequently go to Andhra Bhawan in Chankyapuri. Mutton pepper fry was a must on our cards for my dad’s super spicy taste buds. Seeing him relish this dish made me want to replicate it at home. It took a while to perfect this dish by taking notes from fauji family friends from Andhra and internet of-course. Sharing the version which got me a whopping 9 on 10 by dad. 1 mark was deducted for not serving it on the table like Andhra Bhawan……in a steel bowl and banged on the table with a loud thud!
