Mamidikaya Mamsam Kura

Mutton/lamb cooked in spices with raw mangoes makes this a unique dish which is commonly known as 'Mamidikaya Mamsam Kura (Mango Mutton curry)'. It is one of the popular mutton dishes in the Telugu states of South India.
One of my favorite dishes along with Chinta Chiguru Mamsam. They are just irresistible!
