Laal Maas/Laal Maans is a very famous dish in Rajasthan, India. Unlike southern Indian states mutton curry/gravy, it’s prepared in a sauce of curd/yoghurt and hot spices. It makes unique and delicious because mutton cooked in ginger garlic paste, yoghurt, turmeric and more. We must use dry red chilli (Preferably Kashmiri red chillies ) to make it more authentic. This dish is mostly prepared in festival/special occasions in Rajasthan. They would prefer to have this with Baati, Hot phulka or Steamed rice.
