Details and Ingredients

Suriyani Mutton Roast is a cherished dish from Kerala’s Syrian Christian community, where tender mutton is slow-roasted with a symphony of aromatic spices. The base is built with sautéed shallots, ginger, and garlic, seasoned with turmeric, coriander, and freshly ground black pepper for a warm, lingering heat. Whole spices like cinnamon, cloves, and fennel seeds add depth, while curry leaves and green chilies infuse a vibrant, earthy aroma. A splash of vinegar brings a subtle tang, balanced by coconut oil’s rich coastal note, resulting in a dry, succulent roast bursting with flavor.

Served hot and garnished with fried curry leaves and a dusting of pepper, Suriyani Mutton Roast pairs exquisitely with flaky Kerala parotta, steamed red rice, or soft appam. This dish is a testament to the bold, fragrant legacy of Suriyani cuisine.
