Notes
Fry mutton longer for crispier edges or reduce cooking slightly for softer texture. Freeze cooked mutton separately for easier reheating later. Stir gently during frying to keep pieces intact. Customize flavors with coconut slices, extra chili, black pepper, or fennel seeds. Store leftovers refrigerated for up to four days and reheat slowly in a skillet for best texture.
