Mutton Dalcha Recipe

Mutton Dalcha

In our place there’s a store named Ambur Briyani, they serve among the best briyani on the town. I find it irresistible loads. Considered one of the accompaniment which they serve with the briyani is brinjal dalcha. It taste tangy spicy and taste heavenly with that. I all the time desired to make that every time i make briyani. That one is a vegetarian side dish. But we now have a non veg version of that made with mutton and veggies. I got that recipe  from my friend jafrin.When i gave it a shot  it was so yummy.
