Mutton curry

Mutton curry is a variety of curry made from mutton (a term for the meat of adult sheep) and spices. The dish is popular in many parts of the world, including the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and the Caribbean.

Etymology

The term "mutton" is derived from the Old French word "mouton", which means sheep. The word "curry" comes from the Tamil word "kari", meaning sauce or relish for rice.

Preparation

Mutton curry is typically prepared by cooking mutton with a mixture of spices. The specific spices used can vary widely depending on the region and personal preference, but commonly include turmeric, cumin, coriander, ginger, and garlic. The mutton is usually marinated in the spices before being cooked, which helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.

In some regions, such as the Indian subcontinent, mutton curry is often served with rice or roti (a type of Indian bread). In other areas, such as the Caribbean, it may be served with potatoes or other root vegetables.

Variations

There are many variations of mutton curry, reflecting the diverse culinary traditions of the regions where it is popular. For example, in the Indian state of Rajasthan, mutton curry is often made with a spicy red chili sauce, while in the southern state of Kerala, it is typically made with coconut milk and green chilies.

In the Caribbean, mutton curry is often made with a unique blend of spices known as curry powder, which includes turmeric, cumin, coriander, and fenugreek.
