Kanthari Mutton Roast is a bold and spicy Kerala-style mutton roast made with fiery kanthari chillies and aromatic spices. Tender pieces of mutton are slow-cooked to absorb deep, rich flavours and dry-roasted to perfection. This dish pairs beautifully with appam, parotta, chapati or rice, and is a favourite in homes and festive meals for those who love robust, heat-forward meat recipes.
