Tips for the best mutton pepper roast

• Smaller pieces roast faster and soak up more pepper.
• Roast on medium-high and keep stirring so the masala sticks to the meat, not the pan.
• A handful of fried curry leaves on top makes it look and smell like a restaurant roast.

What to serve it with

Serve with porotta, chapati, ghee rice or as a side with rice and dal.
