Instructions
-
Prepare the Mutton:
Begin by pressing the minced mutton between your palms to remove any excess moisture. This ensures the cutlets hold their shape while frying. -
Mix the Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, add the minced mutton along with the ginger paste, garlic paste, finely chopped onion, coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chillies, red chili powder, turmeric powder, mashed potato, salt, cloves, and cinnamon stick. -
Shape the Cutlets:
Mix everything thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly distributed. Take a small lemon-sized ball of the mixture and gently roll it into a smooth ball. Flatten each ball to form a round disc shape, ensuring they are even in thickness. -
Coat the Cutlets:
Prepare a shallow plate with bread crumbs. Lightly coat each cutlet with the crumbs, pressing them gently to ensure a good coverage. -
Frying the Cutlets:
Heat oil in a shallow pan over medium-low heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place a few cutlets in the pan. Fry on medium-low heat, turning occasionally, until the cutlets are golden brown on all sides and the mutton is fully cooked through. The slow frying ensures the mutton is tender inside and crispy outside. -
Finishing Touches:
Once the cutlets are cooked, remove them from the pan and place them on a kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil. -
Serving Suggestions:
Serve the Parsi Mutton Cutlets hot, paired with Dhaniya Pudina Chutney, Date Tamarind Chutney, or your favorite chutney. A side of pickled onions adds a delightful tanginess that complements the cutlets perfectly.
Enjoy these irresistible, melt-in-the-mouth Parsi Mutton Cutlets, packed with vibrant flavors and aromas!
