Mutton Curry(thanjavur style)

This is a traditional way of making mutton curry in my home town which is served with rice.The secret of the recipe is the freshly ground masala which is simmered with coconut paste and other spices.My mom makes this curry with shallots which gives an excellent taste to this recipe.
