Mutton is a high-quality protein source, essential for building and repairing tissues, muscle growth, and overall body function.
This dish provides a significant amount of heme iron from the mutton, which is easily absorbed by the body and helps in preventing iron-deficiency anemia.
The use of spices like turmeric (containing curcumin) and ginger (containing gingerol) lends potent anti-inflammatory benefits to the dish.
Garlic, ginger, and other whole spices used in the gravy are known for their antimicrobial and immune-boosting properties, helping to strengthen the body's defenses.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. The flavors often deepen overnight, making it taste even better the next day. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
