  • 1 cup yogurt
  • 2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
  • 1 tbsp red chili powder
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp garam masala powder
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

For Cooking:

  • 4-5 tbsp oil or ghee
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 medium onions (sliced)
  • 2-3 green chilies (slit)
  • 1 tbsp fresh coriander leaves (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp fresh mint leaves (chopped)
  • 1 tsp chaat masala
  • Lemon wedges for garnish

Method:

  1. Marinate the Mutton:
    • In a large bowl, mix yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, black pepper powder, salt, and lemon juice.
    • Add the mutton slices to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated.
    • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, preferably overnight for best results.
  2. Prepare the Tawa (Griddle):
    • Heat a large tawa or griddle over medium heat.
    • Add oil or ghee and let it heat up.
  3. Cook the Mutton:
    • Add the marinated mutton slices to the tawa in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the tawa; cook in batches if necessary.
    • Cook on medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until the mutton is browned and cooked through. This should take about 15-20 minutes.
    • Once cooked, push the mutton to the side of the tawa.
  4. Cook the Onions and Chilies:
    • In the same tawa, add butter.
    • Add the sliced onions and green chilies to the tawa, sauté until the onions are golden brown and caramelized.
  5. Combine and Finish:
    • Mix the cooked onions and green chilies with the mutton slices.
    • Sprinkle fresh coriander leaves, mint leaves, and chaat masala over the top.
    • Toss everything together for a minute or two on the tawa to combine the flavors.
  6. Serve:
    • Transfer the Mutton Tawa Roast to a serving dish.
    • Garnish with lemon wedges.
    • Serve hot with naan, roti, or paratha.

Tips:

  • For an added smoky flavor, you can use a piece of hot charcoal. Place it in a small bowl and put it in the center of the mutton. Drizzle a few drops of oil over the charcoal and cover the dish immediately. Let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
  • Adjust the spice levels according to your preference.
  • Ensure the mutton slices are thin and evenly cut for quicker and more even cooking.

FAQ

1. How long should I marinate the mutton for the best results?

For best results, marinate the mutton for at least 2-3 hours. However, marinating overnight in the refrigerator will yield the most flavorful and tender mutton.

While the recipe calls for boneless mutton, you can use bone-in mutton. Just ensure the pieces are thinly sliced for even cooking, and adjust the cooking time as bone-in pieces may take longer to cook.

3. What type of oil is best for cooking the mutton on the tawa?

You can use either vegetable oil or ghee for cooking the mutton. Ghee will add a richer flavor, but vegetable oil is a good alternative. You can also mix both for added taste.

4. How can I achieve a smoky flavor in my Mutton Tawa Roast?

9. What can I do if my mutton turns out dry?

If your mutton turns out dry, it might be overcooked. Ensure you cook on medium-high heat and turn occasionally to avoid overcooking. Marinating the mutton properly also helps in keeping it tender and juicy.
