Imagine you are hosting a brunch, lunch, or dinner, and your entire house smells like fresh cutlets with the aroma of spices wafting in the kitchen. Tender insides and crispy crust make these bite-sized snacks a delight for taste buds and have an aftertaste that makes you want to keep eating one bite after another. Minced mutton cutlet is a dish rooted in nostalgia and makes an elevated and luxurious addition to any snacking or starter spread.

It’s a popular dish prepared across Indian households on Sundays, especially for breakfast. Ask mutton lovers, and they will take on a walk down a memory lane where they have relished these cutlets in Anglo-Indian kitchens in Kolkata and crowded Irani cafes in Mumbai. The recipe was born in royal kitchens where it once ruled the tablescape along with kebabs, its close brother.

While the common breakfast dishes in India include poha, upma, sandwiches, oats khichdi, and sevai, savouring minced mutton kebab is like a Delhiite devouri

While the common breakfast dishes in India include poha, upma, sandwiches, oats khichdi, and sevai, savouring minced mutton kebab is like a Delhiite devouring Chhole Bhature at 10am or a Mumbaikar indulging in Misal Pav at a popular stall. The secret of this dish lies in the balance of spices so your buds can experience the warmth from ginger, fresh notes from coriander, and kick from the garam masala. Not to mention the technique of shallow-frying them at the right temperature to yield a crunchy outer shell encompassing gooey filling.

One of the best aspects of cooking this dish is that not only do you take the snacking game up a level, but you also have versatile leftovers. Stuff in a dough and make minced mutton parathas, layer between slices of bread to get a protein-rich sandwich, wrap in a flatbread to make a flavourful roll, or dust with rice flour, deep-fry until crunchy, and toss in a lip-smacking Indo-Chinese gravy to complement steamed rice.

If you have minced mutton in the fridge, you can quickly make these cutlets for breakfast, even on weekdays. It will hardly take you 15 minutes to prepare a protein-rich meal to kickstart your day. Have you tried the recipe yet? If not, follow this easy guide and leave your guests and loved ones impressed with your culinary skills.

Step 1

Heat oil in a kadhai and add fennel seeds. Let the sizzle before you add other ingredients.

Step 2

Sauté onions, ginger-garlic paste, and turmeric powder for a minute. This will add subtle sweet notes and earthiness to the mixture.

Step 3

Add the minced meat to the kadhai now, along with the remaining powdered spices and roast the ingredients until the blend turns aromatic and makes you salivate.

Step 4

Add green peas, mashed potatoes, and ketchup after 5 minutes and keep mixing the ingredients in the kadhai.

Step 5

Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool for a couple of minutes. You can also refrigerate this blend and use it the next morning to make cutlets.

Step 6

Add two cups of breadcrumbs to the mixture so that it binds well and holds its shape when you transform it into cutlets. The crumbs will also absorb any moisture in the mixture.

Step 7

Break an egg in a bowl with a wide mouth and whisk it to make a smooth concoction.

Step 8

Shape the mixture, dip it into the whisked egg, and coat it with breadcrumbs before you shallow or deep-fry the cutlets.

Step 9

Keep cooking the cutlets until the crust is brown and crispy while the insides are tender.

Step 10

Serve the minced mutton cutlets with ketchup, chutney, and pickled onions.

Tips and Tricks

Adding a binding agent is crucial for the cutlet to hold its texture and not crumble as soon as it comes in contact with hot oil. You can add rice flour and breadcrumbs to mashed potatoes. It will help you shape the mutton blend in whichever way you like.
Double coating is yet another method to achieve the crunchiest crust. Dip the cutlets in the egg wash for the second time and coat them again with breadcrumbs. But make sure to dust off extra crumbs before frying, or you will end up contaminating the oil.
Before you shape the mixture, let it cool off. A hot mixture cannot be shaped, and you might also end up burning your hands. Cooler mixtures are easy to shape.
When you are shallow-frying or deep-frying the cutlets, make sure to keep the flame medium-high. If the flame is high or low, you won’t be able to achieve a crispy texture, and cutlets will turn out oily.
Use high-quality minced mutton with a little bit of fat to ensure the insides of the cutlets turn tender and soft. This fat will also add to the binding of the cutlets at the final stage.
