Mutton Rara

The dish is a bit complex and extravagant to make. It is slow-cooked with a double dose of mutton in ghee. The dish has a perfect combination of mutton pieces and minced mutton kheema. He also mentioned that the dish is very rich in aroma and different flavours.

Muttton do pyaza

Kunal Vijayakar then talked about the second dish, mutton do pyaza. As the name suggests this dish is heavily reliant on onions.

According to Kunal Vijayakar, the dish is a treasured memory.
