Mutton Khudi is a traditional curry that is loaded with flavor. This richer version of the local Maharastrian jungle khudi can be served with rice or foogias or chitaps, and a refreshing salad for a great meal!


Mutton Khudi is a traditional curry that is loaded with flavour, sometimes also referred to as jungle khudi in the Konkan belt. This delicious curry is made by most East Indian households and is a much-loved dish by local Maharashtrians like us.

While the traditional jungle khudi uses local masalas, we make mutton khudi with our famous bottle masala and has a lot of good ingredients and spices. It is easy to make, does not take too much time, and like most of our curries & dishes, it goes well with a variety of East Indian breads like foogias or chitaps, orias, and even hand breads.

So try my mom’s version of this traditional Mutton Khudi recipe and let us know how appetizing it turned out!

What Ingredients Do You Need To Make Mutton Khudi?

To make this delicious East Indian khudi you need mutton (pieces), onions, tomatoes, green chilies, bottle masala, garlic pods, ginger, salt, and oil.

Mint leaves, curry leaves and fresh coriander are optional for garnishing. Potatoes and coconut are other optional ingredients that can be added to make the dish richer and fuller.

How To Cook Mutton Khudi?

First, you find the goat and kill it, and chop it into nice medium-sized pieces. Or maybe let your butcher do that! Then you wash the mutton pieces and keep them aside for later.
