This boti kebabs recipe takes its inspiration from a kebab recipe popular during Nizam rule in Hyderabad. Back then this prominent dish consisted of tender pieces of boneless mutton dipped in spices and egg wash, rolled in crumbs, and deep fried. To make this recipe more diabetes-friendly, we’ve used a marinade to tenderize the meat and swapped frying for grilling on the stove top. The spices keep the traditional Indian flavors without the additional fat and carbs.
Yummy!
Thanks!
You are welcome and what a meal!💗
If I make this with mutton, do I need to make any changes in the method?
No changes required. Only the cooking time will be changed ,as mutton cooks faster than beef.
