Recipe Notes
Additional Tips
- For extra depth of flavor, dry-roast whole peppercorns and coarsely crush them just before adding to the mutton—this intensifies the peppery kick and aromatic profile of the dish.
- If you prefer a slightly tangier taste, squeeze a few drops of fresh lime juice over the mutton just before serving, or stir in a teaspoon of tamarind pulp during the last few minutes of cooking.
- To achieve the signature South Indian crunch, add a handful of fried curry leaves and thinly sliced, crispy shallots as a garnish right before serving.
- Leftover Mutton Pepper Roast can be used as a filling for parathas or sandwiches; reheat gently and add a splash of coconut milk to keep the meat moist.
