Ingredients:
Mutton – 250 grams
Gram flour / Kadalai maavu – 3 tablespoons
Corn flour – 2 tablespoons
Red chilli powder – 3/4 tablespoon
Ginger-Garlic paste – 1 tablespoon
Cumin powder – 1 teaspoon
Fennel powder / Sombu podi – 1/2 teaspoon (Optional)
Turmeric powder – 1/2 teaspoon
Lemon juice – From half of a lemon
Salt – As required
Oil – For deep frying
Method:
Wash mutton well in water, chop into bite size pieces. Wash again and drain excess water.
Place mutton pieces in a pressure cooker and pour water until it gets immersed well and there is some water above the mutton pieces. Add salt, turmeric powder and stir. Close the lid and pressure cook for 12 to 15 minutes on low flame.
After the aforementioned time remove the cooker from flame and set aside until the pressure drops. Then open the lid and take the mutton pieces alone. (Use the excess water as soup or as stock water for any gravy preparations. For a simple soup, just add some pepper powder, cumin powder, coriander leaves and serve)
Now make a thick batter with the following ingredients.
(For Batter)
Gram flour / Kadalai maavu – 3 tablespoons
Turmeric powder – 1/2 teaspoon
Red chilli powder – 3/4 tablespoon
Ginger-Garlic paste – 1 tablespoon
Cumin powder – 1 teaspoon
Fennel powder / Sombu podi – 1/2 teaspoon (optional)
Corn flour – 2 tablespoons
Lemon juice – From half of a lemon
Salt – As required
(The batter should not be runny nor too thick, it must have dosa batter consistency)
Now place a frying pan on flame and pour enough oil into it for frying the mutton pieces.
After the oil becomes hot dip the mutton pieces into the batter coat it well with the batter on all sides and gently slide it into the hot oil.
Fry until the pieces turn crisp and red. (Mutton pieces are already cooked, so we need only the batter to get cooked so fry on medium flame, do not fry for longer time, it will make the pieces hard and rubbery)
Remove from flame, drizzle lemon juice if you wish and serve!!
