Mutton Kuzhambu is one of my mom’s favorite kuzhambu. She used to prepare this more often, when I am a kid. Also there are many variations in preparing this Kuzhambu and I feel this method is as simple as that and mostly useful for the bachelors and beginners.

When the mutton is well cooked, you can take that water for Mutton Soup. But you can leave it as it is, so that our kuzhambu would be more tastier. (If you are taking the water out, then in another pan, repeat the steps from first to till you saute the tomato and add water),
