Mutton Pudina

Got this recipe from one of my online friend, who had some Afghani Raan somewhere and tried to simulate the taste in his kitchen, then posted the recipe, which I have again adjusted according to my taste, and the result was awesome. We had it as a special dish on Holi, the festival of colors, accompanied with a simple non-spicy Peas Khichdi. The spicy taste of this dish blended well with the mild taste of peas khichdi and it was a perfect 'Jugalbandi' or Duet. We ended up with Thandai flavoured Mousse, another Holi special, with a twist. What a lovely lunch for a festive day!!!
