Goat Lukhmi With Mango Mint Chutney Recipes

CRANBERRY-GINGER FIVE-SPICE CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the spice blend; when the seeds start to crackle and toast, add the cranberries. Stir in the brown sugar, vinegar, ginger and chili powder. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the cranberries have softened and the liquid is reduced by half, about 15 minutes.
• Season the chutney with salt. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour. Serve chilled.

GOAT LUKHMI WITH MANGO MINT CHUTNEY

Steps:

• For the filling: Add the garlic and ginger to a mortar and pestle and grind until a paste forms. (Make sure your yield is 1 tablespoon when combined.)
• Mix the goat mince with the ginger-garlic paste, cilantro, seekh kebab masala, cayenne, turmeric powder and red onion in a large bowl, then sprinkle with salt and mix until thoroughly combined. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Turn the heat under a large Dutch oven to medium and add the vegetable oil. Once heated, add the marinated meat and saute until completely cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove to a sheet tray. Set aside and allow to come to room temperature before cooling completely in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
• Add lemon juice just to this mixture just before you start filling.
• For the mango mint chutney: Add the cilantro, mint, mango, ginger, serrano, lime juice, sugar, salt and 1/3 cup water to a blender and puree until thoroughly combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Set aside until ready to serve.
• For the lukhmi: Heat the vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or 3 inches oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot to 350 degrees F. Line a sheet tray with a wire rack.
• Place 1 layer of phyllo on a work surface with the shorter side facing you, and brush the left half of the sheet with ghee. Fold the unbrushed side of the phyllo onto the ghee-brushed side and evenly press to seal.
• Place a small amount of filling (about 1/3 cup) at one corner. Press the edges of the lukhmi with your fingers to ensure it is tightly sealed into a triangle. Continue folding the triangle over and up the phyllo until the entire sheet of phyllo has been used and the piece is a tightly-formed triangle. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet and cover with a damp towel while you repeat with the remaining filling and phyllo.
• Slowly drop down the lukhmi, one after the other, into the preheated oil. Fry in batches until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to the prepared wire rack.
• Scatter the pomegranate seeds, cilantro, mint and mango pieces on a serving platter. Top with the lukhmi. Serve hot with the chutney.

SOUTHERN BELLE MINT JULEP

Steps:

• Muddle the mint leaves with the bourbon, maple syrup and jalapeno syrup in a tall pint glass or cocktail shaker.
• Fill a mint julep glass with crushed ice. Top the glass or shaker with a cocktail strainer, then pour the bourbon mixture over the ice and top with the lemon-lime soda. Slap the mint sprig to release the oils and add it. Add the jalapeno slices directly to the ice and serve.

SWEET POTATO PAKORA CHAAT

Steps:

• Fill a large, heavy-bottomed pot (like a Dutch oven) about one-third full with the oil. Clip a deep-fry thermometer to the pot and heat the oil over medium heat to 350 degrees F.
• Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into thin chips (about 1/16-inch thick on a mandoline).
• In a large bowl, whisk together the besan, rice flour, ginger garlic paste, fenugreek, chili powder, turmeric and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk in the seltzer just until combined. Add the sweet potatoes and toss to coat.
• Working in batches, fry the sweet potatoes until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer with a spider to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Bring the temperature of the oil back to 350 degrees F between batches.
• In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, sugar and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Drizzle the sweet potato pakora with the tamarind chutney and yogurt sauce. Sprinkle the chaat masala and cumin powder over top. Squeeze the lemon juice on top and finish with the chopped cilantro, pomegranate seeds and sev.

NIMBU PANI MINT JULEP

Steps:

• Combine 1/2 cup water with the sugar, black salt and mint in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat until the sugar and salt dissolve into a sweet and salty simple syrup. Strain the syrup and transfer to the fridge to cool. Discard the mint leaves.
• Squeeze the limes into a pitcher and add the chilled simple syrup.
• Crush or muddle a few mint leaves in the bottom of an 8-ounce mint julep cup until they form a paste. Fill halfway with ice. Add 2 ounces of the simple syrup and the bourbon and top with seltzer. Stir until the silver cup is frosted on the outside.
• To serve, garnish with a sprig of fresh mint. Reserve the remaining simple syrup for additional drinks.

ALOO PIES WITH MANGO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• For the filling: Boil potatoes until tender. Drain.
• Blend garlic, cilantro and habanero in a food processor.
• Mash cooked potatoes and add cumin and salt to taste.
• For the dough: Grease a cookie sheet.
• Mix flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl, then add shortening and warm water until able to knead.
• Form into 2- to 3-inch balls and place on greased cookie sheet. Rest in the fridge for 20 minutes.
• Flatten the dough balls on a flour-dusted surface, then add a scoop of the potato mixture to each. Fold over and close the edges of each to form a half-circle shape.
• Bring oil to 350 degrees F in a Dutch oven over medium heat.
• Fry the dough balls, flipping once, until golden brown. Drain, then serve with mango chutney.
