7. Add sliced onion, chilli and garlic. Fry until golden brown.

8. Add the cooked mutton pieces and add just 1 tsp of mutton masala if you require.

9. When the mutton gets cooked evenly with onion and the flavor of chilli add the pepper powder along with the salt.

10. Fry for about a minute or two and put off the flame.

11. Simple mutton pepper fry is ready to serve

Note:

• We always prepare a kuzhambu/Curry along with a varuval/dry gravy using the pieces.
• So I always drain out the pieces from the curry.
•  Adding mutton masala is just get a coating of masala in the fry. I generally add for other type of varuval,but here I haven't added because of adding pepper powder.
• Initially frying of Mutton with clove-cinnamon powder gives the mutton a better flavor once cooked without any much spices.
