OX TONGUE ROAST

Ingredients

  • 1 Ox tongue, medium size (cleaned)
  • 2 onions chopped
  • 2 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder
  • 1 lime juice
  • 2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Roast masala to grind
  • 1 tsp peppercorns
  • 5 cloves
  • 2 cardamoms
  • 2-inch cinnamon stick
  • 1¼ tsp cumin
  • Salt to taste

Method

Clean and wash the tongue. Now pierce the tongue with a fork or small knife. Marinade the tongue with salt, lime juice, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, Kashmiri chilli powder and roast masala. Let the tongue marinate for at least 2 hours.
Heat oil in a pan. Add onion and fry until light brown. Now add marinated tongue and water. Cover and cook for 35-40 minutes on medium heat. Open the lid and check with a knife, if it pierces easily to ensure that the meat is cooked. If you feel it needs to be cooked further do it with the same pan with the stock in it. Cook for another 15 minutes. Once it's cooked set it aside to cool. Then cut it into thin slices. Add the slices into the stock that's in the pan and let it cook for 3 minutes. This will keep the tongue nice and moist. Tongue roast is ready to be served.
