Mouri Diye Mutton/ Mutton with Fennel seeds

This is the classic and popular mutton curry that I prepare with a slight twist. The twist? I add some mouri or fennel seeds. Mouri or fennel has quite a distinctive earthy flavour. So the traditional mutton curry is transformed into a completely new dish that is packed with the awesome flavour of mouri. Whenever I have prepared this dish for my family and guests, they absolutely love this preparation. Serve it with roti, paratha or rice and it will be amazing, just make sure not to overcook or undercook the mutton.
