Mutton Jhal Farezi is a fiery, flavour-packed dish made by slow-cooking mutton with whole spices, tomatoes, onions, and capsicum. This semi-dry preparation strikes a perfect balance of heat, tang, and richness, with tender chunks of meat coated in a bold masala. Traditionally influenced by Anglo-Indian cooking, it is a hearty, rustic dish that pairs beautifully with any Indian bread or steamed rice.
