Replace mutton with 500g of paneer or 400g of boiled jackfruit. Adjust cooking time accordingly; paneer needs very little cooking, while jackfruit should be boiled until tender before adding to the masala.
This recipe also works well with chicken (use thigh pieces) or lamb. Reduce the pressure cooking time for chicken to about 15 minutes (2-3 whistles).
For a milder version, reduce the red chili powder and green chilies. You can use Kashmiri red chili powder for a vibrant color without excessive heat.
Mutton is a high-quality protein source, essential for muscle building, repair, and overall body function.
This dish provides a significant amount of heme iron, which is easily absorbed by the body and helps prevent anemia by supporting red blood cell production.
Spices like turmeric, ginger, and garlic have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can help strengthen the immune system.
Mutton is rich in B vitamins, particularly B12 and B3 (niacin), which are crucial for energy metabolism, nervous system health, and maintaining healthy skin.
Khad cooking is a traditional Rajasthani technique where meat is marinated, wrapped in leaves or dough, and cooked underground in a pit with hot embers. This recipe adapts the signature smoky flavor using the 'dhungar' method, which is achievable in a home kitchen.
Yes, you can. After searing the mutton, add about 1.5 cups of hot water, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer on low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the mutton is tender. Check occasionally and add more hot water if it becomes too dry.
Tough mutton can result from insufficient marination time or undercooking. Ensure you marinate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best) as the curd helps tenderize the meat. Also, cook until the meat is fall-apart tender. The quality and cut of the meat also play a significant role.
Khad Mutton Bites can be part of a balanced diet. Mutton is an excellent source of protein, iron, and B vitamins. However, it is also high in saturated fat. This recipe uses ghee, which should be consumed in moderation. To make it healthier, you can trim excess fat from the mutton.
A single serving of Khad Mutton Bites (approximately 210g) contains around 450-550 calories. The exact count depends on the fat content of the mutton and the amount of ghee used.
