Mutton Fat Pepper Curry/ Kozhuppu Kuzhambu



Kozhuppu Kuzhambu
This is a very popular kuzhambu( gravy) in Chettinad, very delicious to eat with hot steamed rice. In this recipe we dont use mutton( lamb) flesh or bone parts, while buying request the butcher for only mutton fat. This curry gets thickened very soon becoz of the fat content, every time this curry has to be heated before serving. Now days thie fat curry is diminishing from Chettinad homes becoz of the health factors but the taste is 100% worth eating once in lifetime.
