Authentic Lamb Curry

5 from 2 votes
This recipe can be used to prepare a lamb curry, a beef curry, a chicken curry, or a mutton curry. So what is the difference between mutton and lamb? Age! Lamb refers the the meat from younger sheep and mutton to the meat from older sheep. Lamb tends be more tender and has a milder flavour. Mutton tends to be tougher and has a stronger flavour. For this reason, if you are using mutton, you might want to transfer everything to a pressure cooker when the meat is added and cook it for 15 minutes.
