Fry the Mutton
Garnish and Serve
Add 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper along with the garam masala during the marination step for an extra layer of heat.
Use Guntur red chili powder for a fiery kick and distinct flavor. You can also add a tempering of mustard seeds and dry red chilies to the oil before adding the onions.
For a South Indian twist, add 2-3 tablespoons of thinly sliced dry coconut (kopra) to the pan in the last 5 minutes of frying. Sauté until the coconut is golden and fragrant.
Mutton is an excellent source of complete protein, which is vital for building and repairing tissues, muscle growth, and maintaining overall body function.
This dish provides a significant amount of heme iron from the mutton, a form that is easily absorbed by the body. Iron is crucial for forming hemoglobin, which prevents anemia and boosts energy levels.
The recipe uses spices like turmeric, ginger, and garlic, which are known for their anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties that help support a robust immune system.
A single serving of Mutton Boti Fry (approximately 175g) contains an estimated 450-520 calories. This can vary based on the fat content of the mutton and the amount of oil used.
Mutton Boti Fry is a good source of protein and iron. However, it is also high in saturated fat and calories due to the red meat and frying process. It is best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
Yes, you can. Place the marinated mutton in a heavy-bottomed pot with 1-1.5 cups of water. Cover and simmer on low heat for 60-90 minutes, or until the mutton is tender and the water has mostly evaporated. Then proceed with the frying step.
Tough mutton can be due to a few reasons: insufficient marination time, undercooking in the pressure cooker, or the quality of the meat itself. Ensure you marinate for at least 2 hours (overnight is best) and cook it until it's almost falling apart before you start frying.
Absolutely! Substitute mutton with boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into pieces. Skip the pressure cooking step entirely. After marinating, pan-fry the chicken directly with the onions until it's cooked through and well-browned, which should take about 15-20 minutes.
