Perform the 'Ghotala' (Scramble)
Finish and Serve
Substitute mutton with minced chicken or turkey. For a vegetarian version, use crumbled paneer or soya granules. Adjust cooking times accordingly, as these cook faster than mutton.
Incorporate finely chopped bell peppers (capsicum), green peas, or carrots along with the tomatoes for added nutrition and texture.
Increase the amount of green chillies and red chilli powder, or add a teaspoon of black pepper powder along with the other spices for an extra kick.
For a richer finish, stir in a tablespoon of fresh cream or cashew paste along with the butter at the end.
The combination of mutton mince and eggs provides a significant amount of high-quality protein, essential for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function.
Mutton is a prime source of heme iron, which is more easily absorbed by the body than non-heme iron from plant sources. Iron is crucial for preventing anemia and maintaining energy levels.
This dish is a good source of B vitamins, particularly B12 from the mutton and eggs, which is vital for nerve function and the formation of red blood cells.
The blend of Indian spices like turmeric, ginger, and garlic contains powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds that help support a robust immune system.
'Ghotala' is a Hindi/Marathi word that translates to 'scramble' or 'mishmash'. In this recipe, it refers to the act of scrambling eggs directly into the cooked minced meat, creating a delicious and unique texture.
Kheema Ghotala is a protein-rich dish due to the mutton and eggs, which is great for muscle maintenance. However, it can be high in fat and calories depending on the fat content of the mince and the amount of oil and butter used. To make it healthier, use lean mince and reduce the amount of oil and butter.
A typical serving of Kheema Ghotala (approximately 1 cup or 320g) contains around 450-550 calories, excluding the buttered pav. The exact number can vary based on the fat content of the mutton and the amount of oil used.
Yes, absolutely! Chicken or turkey mince are great alternatives. They cook much faster than mutton, so you can reduce the simmering time in step 3 to about 10-12 minutes.
To reduce the spice level, you can omit the green chillies, reduce the amount of red chilli powder to 1/4 or 1/2 teaspoon, or use a milder variety like Kashmiri red chilli powder, which adds color without much heat.
While pav is the classic pairing, Kheema Ghotala is also delicious with roti, paratha, naan, or even plain sliced bread. It can also be served as a side with dal and rice.
