    Mutton Ghee Roast | Mangalorean delicacy, Mutton Ghee Roast

    August 19, 2017 By Debjani Chatterjee Alam 2 Comments

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    Hectic outstation trips, and then returning to the hotel in the evening! Sounds similar I guess (especially to those who opt for the trips often) but believe me those trips are not that bad. Especially when the days ended with the local delicacy. Wherever I have worked, trips are always been part of my responsibility. The company I was associated with previously had given me the opportunity to explore the southern part of the country.  I had been to Chennai, Mangaluru, Kerala, and Bangalore several times during my 3.5 years with that assignment. I have tried some authentic southern food and in fact, I cherished it to the core.  In this post, I am going to share the recipe of one of my favorite Mangalorean delicacies, Mutton Ghee Roast which I had several times during my trips to South India.

    My Mutton Ghee Roast Memories!

    I have had it several times and in fact, learned the recipe once I was in Mangalore from the Chef of the hotel I was staying. Cooked with Mangalorean spices, flavored with Ghee, and juicy Pieces of mutton, what else do you need to be happy with? I remember, on that trip, I had Mutton Ghee Roast on three consecutive dinners either with "Parota" or with Appam.

    I finally ended up talking to the chef about the recipe. Not that the recipe of Mutton Ghee roast is rarely available but at times experienced cooks give important inputs which are not easy to get. The Chef emphasized the use of freshly ground spices and Ghee while making the Mutton  Ghee Roast. He told me that the Masala has to be coarse but not smooth and Ghee can not be substituted with anything.

    How they make Mutton Ghee roast in Mangalore!

    Traditionally they use Guntur Chili to make the Chettinad Masala Paste. However, I have used a mixture of normal red chili and Kashmiri Red chili as I don't have Guntur Chili in my stock.  Though some people prefer to use boneless or lean meat, however, I prefer medium-sized Mutton chunks with fat to make the Ghee Roast. Last but not the least, you need to use Ghee for this, there is no substitute until you wanted to make Mutton Ghee Roast without Ghee (errrrr oxymoron!)

    %Mutton Ghee Roast

    I love this Mangalorean mutton dish a lot. Not only I but the entire family cherish this Mangalorean mutton preparation. However, I restrict myself to cook Mutton Ghee Roast, considering the amount of Ghee used and the calorie from the Mutton itself ;).  As I already mentioned, a special Masala Mix is a must for the Mutton or lamb Ghee Roast and obviously, slow cooking is a must (with a few minutes of pressure cooking)

    Notes

    • Adjust the number of dried chilis as per your taste bud. I prefer moderately spiced Ghee Roast.
    • Ghee is must for this recipe, so don't count the Calorie!
      If you wanted to store the Masala paste, make and store it in an airtight container. Add Onion, ginger, and garlic just before cooking.
