This lamb curry is an authentic and traditional curry of Sivakasi (south India), my hubby’s native place. My hubby loves this a lot and so I prepare this curry very often at home. This curry is very easy to prepare, taste delicious, its aroma pulls everyone to kitchen. It’s called as low budget curry, since it’s prepared with very least number of ingredients.
