Mutton:

• You definitely need to get boneless mutton for the Chudwa.

• Boil the mutton in a pressure cooker on medium flame. The mutton should be so soft that it should break when rubbed between fingers.

Method of frying the mutton:

• Fry the tender boiled mutton in oil on medium flame. Fry to a nice brown. Keep stirring now and then.

• It took me some 25 minutes to fry 1 Kg of mutton.

• If you fry the mutton very crisp, it may get a burnt look when cool. See that the mutton is fried well but not to a deep brown colour.
