Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Mutton Filling:
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger, and sauté until the onions turn golden brown.
- Add the green chilies, cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, and red chili powder. Cook the spices for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the ground mutton to the pan, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 10-15 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato paste and season with salt. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly.
- Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly before assembling the rolls.
Assemble the Rolls:
- If using flatbreads, place a portion of the mutton filling in the center of each flatbread. Fold in the sides, then roll it up tightly. Seal the edge with a little water or egg wash.
- If using puff pastry, roll out the pastry sheets and cut them into squares or rectangles. Place a spoonful of filling in the center, fold the pastry over, and seal the edges with a fork. Brush the tops with egg wash for a golden finish.
Cook the Rolls:
- Frying: Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the rolls until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- Baking: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the assembled rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
Serve:
- Serve the mutton rolls hot, with your choice of chutney, sauce, or dip on the side.
