Mutton i.e. goat meat has a lot of health benefits, which is why it has a high demand. The low levels of saturated fats and cholesterol combined with it’s high iron and protein content makes goat meat a good choice for anyone looking for a healthy red meat.
We can find quite a lot of mutton dishes prepared by different communities in India. One such mutton recipe from Maharashtra is Grilled Mutton Chops. As mutton cannot be easily cooked on a griddle, the chop pieces need to be pre cooked before grilling. This also helps all the spices to seep into the flesh and the grilled chops turn out delicious!
