History

Mamsam Iguru is a classic dish in Andhra cuisine, deeply rooted in the region's love for spicy and flavorful curries. "Mamsam" means "mutton," and "Iguru" refers to a thick, semi-dry curry.

This dish has been a staple in Andhra households for centuries, originally prepared in rural kitchens using fresh farm-raised mutton and hand-pounded spices. Traditionally, it was slow-cooked in a clay pot over firewood, enhancing its deep flavors.

Today, Mamsam Iguru is enjoyed across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, served with steamed rice, chapati, or traditional millet-based breads.
