Mutton Burra Kebab is a popular North Indian / Mughali dish made with mutton. A tender and spicy mutton dish made with lamb chops, the meat is marinated well and cooked in a tandoor or an oven until well cooked.
Unlike most Indian dishes, there is no over-powering masalas or gravies.
This dish is great as a starter or as an accompaniment to a main course.
Serve it with green chutney and onion rings.
