Mutton shoulders come from the shoulder of a Mutton which is technically a lamb who is fully grown and the meat has a deep dark red colour. This cut is well-known for making stew or curry because as they are slowly boiled they become more tender, rich and full of flavour. Some dishes that can be made from mutton shoulders are Chettinad Mutton Curry, Punjabi Mutton Curry, Caribbean Curry Mutton, etc.
