MUTTON SAAGWAALA

                                               On days iam having my"cooking mania"{my dh "S"gave the name}i always try new dishes,most of which i have not even tasted earlier.today i wanted to try something new with mutton.i was bored making the same curry.when i searched my recipe diary i came across this mutton saagwala or palak mutton recipe which i had written long before from kairali tv magic oven cookery show but had not dared to try.i fell in love with the recipe and couldnt wait to try it.it came out really good.
                                        This dish is worth trying and a perfect way to incorporate green leafy vegetables like spinach to your diet.jr"S"and to say the truth even i dont like to eat palak if it is added as such.so this pureed palak curry is perfect for all like me and my jr who doesnt like spinach at the same time want to add some greens to the diet.
