Methi Pepper Mutton is a rich party style mutton curry with fresh fenugreek leaves and spiced with black pepper.
There is always an endless need for recipes to prepare mutton or chicken curry. We sometimes need to please our eyes along with our tastebuds by preparing curries not only with different flavors and textures but also with different colors.
If you go through my previous posts of Mutton curries, all of them are with a reddish hue where tomatoes and red chilies dominate the recipe. So this time I decided to give you a recipe with a creamy look and texture along with the added freshness from the seasonal herb called Methi leaves or fenugreek leaves.
Talking about methi leaves, it is often seen that only the leaves are being added and the stem is totally discarded. Apart from this, the herb is packed with flavors and also brings lots of health benefits. It is highly beneficial for treating poor liver function, gastric problems, dysentery, and diarrhea. Apart from this, it helps in lowering cholesterol, and its anti-diabetic elements help in controlling glucose metabolism.
