Madurai Style Mutton Roast

மதுரை முறை மட்டன் ரோஸ்ட்

By Ganesan Kannan

70 mins Serves 3 Hard Chettinad

Authentic Tamil Nadu style madurai style mutton roast cooked in gingelly oil with freshly ground Chettinad masala — fiery, aromatic and deeply traditional.

Ingredients

Method

  1. 1

    Dry roast fennel, coriander seeds, dried red chillies, star anise and stone flower, then grind fresh with coconut.

  2. 2

    Heat gingelly oil, fry curry leaves and onions until deep golden.

  3. 3

    Add ginger garlic paste, tomatoes, turmeric and salt; cook to a soft masala.

  4. 4

    Add madurai style mutton roast and sear on high flame for 5 minutes so the masala coats every piece.

  5. 5

    Add the ground masala with a little hot water, cover and cook until tender and the oil separates. Garnish with coriander.

சமையல் குறிப்பு

மசாலாவை சமைக்கும் அன்றே அரைக்கவும்; கடை பொடி செட்டிநாடு சுவையை தராது.

Grind the masala fresh on the day you cook — bottled powder never gives Chettinad flavour.

Storage tips

Cool completely, store in a glass or steel container and refrigerate up to 2 days. Reheat on a low flame with a splash of water, never in a hurry.
