Even tough it is hard to find lean mutton in the west, my family still loves to eat spicy South Indian mutton curry. The trick is to buy a lean shoulder of lamb, have the butcher remove excess fat and then remove the remaining traces of fat at home to get the fresh Indian taste. It is also healthy! I cooked this dish along with a few others for lunch last Sunday when we invited some family friends to our house. It was a hit!
