This recipe was shared by my Mommy’s friend ‘Mrs. Babulal’. She is a great cook! She always sends over her specialities…..frequently! I like her Non-Veg preparations. Especially Biriyani, Vanjiram Fish Fry….! On one special occassion she prepared this ‘Fried Mutton’! This particular recipe caught my attention….coz its so unusual for me! All I know is meat should be cooked for really really long time! Never thought of attempting anything new….like ‘Deep Frying Meat’! She said….she marinates it for long time and shadow dries the meat before frying! Sounded like a good idea to me! Just like that….I fixed few more things myself, I made it bit spicy, added lemon juice to give tangy taste and chopped the piece too small…to ensure thorough cooking!!!

Ingredients:

Goat’s meat 1/2 kilo(boneless and diced into too small pieces)
Salt
Turmeric powder 1/2 spoon
Chili powder 1 spoon
Red food color 1 pinch (optional)
Garam masala powder 1/2 spoon
Lemon juice 1/4 cup
Ginger -garlic paste 1 -2 spoons
Oil for deep frying.

Method:

In a large bowl, bring all the above said ingredients together, except oil. Let this marinade sit in fridge for 20 whole minutes.

In a very wide tray….arrange each mutton piece(meat) giving enough gap between each piece.

Set this tray under fan. For about 2 hours. Maybe you should turn the pieces to the other side(once it is dry to one side)

Deep fry them in hot oil. Till it is deep reddish brown. Maintain the stove at medium heat. Never load the oil. Fry only few at a time.

Garnish with crisply fried curry leaves and serve along with lemon wedges.

Serve warm. As a side dish to go with your lunch or as tea time snack.
