Mutton Rezzala for RCI Bengal

My last post was ages ago. It is sort of hard to figure out what I should write after an absence of nearly 7-8 months. Lately I have been making very quick and non-glamorous meals. Food blogging made me put on too much weight and I am not very serious about exercising. So there started this round of trying to cut rice from my diet. I realized the store bought rotis were incredibly oily and I was probably better off calorie-wise enjoying my "bhaath" (rice). The started the ritual of making home made rotis. I am getting better at it and have been experimenting quite a bit with rotis and parathas. Of course blogging about it will need to be put off till my rotis improve quite a bit in the shape department. Anyway, I digress...

However, when Sandeepa of Bong Mom's Cookbook announced RCI Bengal, I was determined to break out of this self-imposed hibernation. I thought up a dozen things I would make and post, but alas too much happening in my non-blog world and all I have been able to come up with (that too on the day of the deadline) is Mutton Rezzala. A truly delicious and decadent meat dish which goes well with both rice and rotis.

Once again this is one of Choto Pishi's recipes. I must admit I used half the oil she had suggested, it turned out very well nevertheless. I can only imagine how much better it would be if I had put in as much oil as suggested!

Recipe Coming soon...
