How do I make Sali Boti mutton curry tender?
To ensure your Sali Boti mutton curry is tender, it's important to simmer the mutton for at least 45 minutes after browning it. This slow cooking process allows the meat to absorb the flavors and become soft. If you're using tougher cuts of mutton, you might want to extend the cooking time or use a pressure cooker for quicker results.
What are some good substitutions for mutton in Sali Boti?
If you're looking for a substitute for mutton in Sali Boti, you can use beef or lamb, as they have similar cooking properties and flavors. For a vegetarian option, consider using paneer or chickpeas, but keep in mind that the cooking time will vary. Adjust the spices accordingly to maintain the dish's authentic flavor.
