Prepare Topping and Serve
Substitute mutton mince with chicken mince. Reduce the cooking time for the mince to 15-20 minutes as chicken cooks faster.
Replace mutton mince with crumbled paneer or a mixture of mashed vegetables like potatoes, peas, and carrots. Add the paneer or vegetables after the tomato masala is cooked and sauté for 5-7 minutes before adding the eggs.
Increase the amount of green chilies and red chili powder. You can also add a teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper along with the garam masala for an extra kick.
With a combination of mutton mince and eight eggs, this dish is packed with high-quality protein, essential for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function.
Mutton is a great source of heme iron, which is easily absorbed by the body. Iron is crucial for forming hemoglobin, which transports oxygen in the blood, helping to prevent anemia and boost energy levels.
Eggs are a nutritional powerhouse, providing essential vitamins like B12, which is vital for nerve function, and Vitamin D, important for bone health and immune support.
One serving of Surti Ghotalo (without pav) contains approximately 550-650 calories, primarily from the mutton, eggs, and butter. Serving it with two buttered pavs can add another 200-250 calories.
Surti Ghotalo is a high-protein dish due to the mutton and eggs, which is great for muscle maintenance and satiety. However, it is also high in saturated fat and calories because of the red meat and butter. It's best enjoyed as an occasional indulgent meal rather than a daily staple.
If green garlic is not in season, you can use a combination of 2-3 finely minced garlic cloves and 1/4 cup of chopped scallion greens (the green part of spring onions). This combination mimics the mild, fresh garlic flavor.

Store leftover ghotalo in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Note that the texture of the eggs may change upon reheating. It's best to reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
