The winter season is on a full swing by now. In fact, many parts of the country are currently witnessing a bone-chilling cold wave like never before. Although, the only thing you would want to do in these conditions is snuggle up with your favourite blanket and laze around, it is necessary to keep your body warm from within. Hot, spicy and fiery dishes are definitely the first choices when it comes to winter but keeping the current situation in mind, it is best to consume foods that not only keep you warm but are nourishing too. It is said that foods that contain a good amount of protein take longer time to digest, in turn producing heat and keeping you warm for longer. Keeping these points in mind, we curated a list of fiery hot mutton curries that pack the perfect combination of protein and heat.
