Details and Ingredients

Mutton Pepper Roast is a fiery Kerala delicacy where tender mutton is slow-roasted with a generous dose of freshly ground black pepper and aromatic spices. The dish starts with a base of sautéed onions, ginger, and garlic, seasoned with turmeric, coriander, and a touch of red chili powder for balance. Curry leaves and green chilies are roasted alongside the mutton, infusing it with their earthy, pungent aroma, while a drizzle of coconut oil adds a subtle coastal richness. The star of the dish, black pepper, delivers a sharp, lingering heat that coats the succulent meat in a dry, flavorful finish.

Served hot and garnished with extra crushed pepper and crispy curry leaves, Mutton Pepper Roast is a perfect match for flaky Kerala parotta, steamed red rice, or soft appam. This dish embodies Kerala’s passion for bold, pepper-driven flavors.
