Mutton varattiyathu is a treasured dish from Kerala, famous for its deep, slow-roasted flavours and inviting aroma. Tender chunks of mutton are simmered with a blend of ground spices, sweet caramelised shallots or onions, slivers of coconut, and fragrant curry leaves, then roasted to a perfect golden brown. The result is a dry, spiced dish that complements rice, paratha, or chapati perfectly.
