Laal Maas is a traditional red fiery curry prepared with goat/lamb, and one among the popular food in Rajasthani Cuisine. I have tried out Laal Maas few months back, never too pictures to update in blog. But this time recently I have been to Kava – Fairfield for their Marwari Food Festival, had Laal Maas and this wanted my hubby to prepare it again for him.

An easy, simple, delicious and heavenly dish for all the non-vegetarian (Meat Lovers). I have two types of red chillies, one is the regular one and the other in the byadagi chilli which gives color and is less spicy. In case you don’t get byadagi red chillies, you can substitute the recipe with regular red chilli powder and Kashmiri red chilli powder.

Taking this to Fiesta Friday, hosted by Angie@thenovicegarderner.

Goes out well with Naan, roti, pulao or any Indian flat breads. I have paired it with my all-time favorite Coconut milk rice.I have referred Chef Kunal Kapoor recipe for the making. Give a try…
