Drain, Garnish, and Serve
After frying, place the mutton in a heatproof bowl. Heat a piece of charcoal until red hot. Place it in a small steel cup in the center of the mutton, pour a teaspoon of ghee over the charcoal, and immediately cover the bowl with a tight lid. Let it sit for 5 minutes to infuse a smoky aroma.
While mutton is traditional, this recipe works well with thinly sliced lamb leg or even chicken breast for a quicker cooking version.
For a spicier version, add 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper powder or a finely chopped green chili to the marinade. Reduce the Kashmiri chili powder for a milder taste.
Mutton is an excellent source of complete protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues, muscle growth, and overall body function.
This dish provides a significant amount of heme iron, which is more easily absorbed by the body than non-heme iron from plant sources. Iron is crucial for forming hemoglobin and preventing anemia.
Mutton is rich in B-vitamins, particularly B12 and B3 (niacin). These vitamins are vital for energy metabolism, maintaining a healthy nervous system, and supporting brain function.
Tash Mutton is a high-protein dish due to the mutton. However, it is shallow-fried, which adds a significant amount of fat and calories. It's best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Mutton itself is a good source of iron, zinc, and B-vitamins.
One serving of Tash Mutton (approximately 160g) contains around 350-450 calories. The exact number can vary based on the fat content of the mutton and the amount of oil absorbed during frying.
The best cut is boneless leg of mutton or mutton from the shoulder. These cuts are flavorful and become tender when sliced thinly and marinated.
There are a few common reasons: the mutton slices were too thick, the pan was overcrowded (which steams the meat), or the oil temperature was too low. Ensure thin slices, hot oil, and fry in small batches for the best crispy texture.
Yes, you can. For an air-fried version, preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F). Arrange the marinated slices in a single layer and spray lightly with oil. Air fry for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until cooked and crispy at the edges. The texture will be slightly different from the pan-fried version but still delicious.
A minimum of 1 hour is recommended, but for the most tender and flavorful results, marinate for 3-4 hours in the refrigerator. Do not marinate for more than 8 hours as the yogurt can start to break down the meat fibers too much.
