Mutton Pepper Fry - Andhra style

Andhra Mutton Pepper Fry , one of the best semi dry mutton dish in South India.
Had this several times in bengaluru, in 2 of the most authentic Andhra restaurants, and after tasting it recently was able to replicate it....
I am sure after cooking this dish, you will know which restaurants I am talking about.
