Mutton Cutlets

The minced mutton mix to the right,the breadcrumbs on the left

Always good to make your own bread crumbs

Two eggs getting ready to be whisked (please don't let the colourful bowl distract you :) )

The yolks could be added to the mince instead and the egg whites alone could be lightly whisked for dipping the cutlets in.

The mince has been prepared and shaped to one's desire and lightly coated with flour(Maida)...

Dip the cutlet into the beaten eggs...

into the breadcrumbs(u may add some flavour to the crumbs if u wish...like mixed dry herbs,oregano)

All set to get fried

Up Close!



Deep Fry or Shallow fry -the choice is yours 



Yummy! the dash of white made the difference to this plating!!

Please drain off all the excess oil

Not a very neat shape but I had three hungry wolves waiting for lunch and fed up of my documenting every step...The recipe follows soon...need to start working on my dinner now!

The Mince preparation-get ground/minced mutton. In your pressure cooker add some diced onion, green chillies,tomatoes, turmeric, peppercorns,ginger-garlic,salt to taste, your mutton Masala( I prefer to use Eastern masalas for lal my cooking), I did pulse some fresh green peas as well in this mix. This is one of the many tricks I play while cooking inorder to sneak in certain veggies that my kids despise or scoff at. So be creative and add your own as well but ensure that they are minced and blend well. Do add a nice fresh bunch of coriandro leaves and mint leaves.
 My mom alwys used to say Mint and Mutton are the best of friends.. Pressure cook the minced mutton with the above ingredients till you feel they are cooked well. Once it cools, do taste it and see if you have left out any ingredient, I do add a tsp of  Saunf/Perumjeerakkam which helps in digestion.  You can once again process all the above in your food processor to make it smoother. Then follow the steps as shown above.
