Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Buffalo meat (roast cut)
- 2 tbsp Zaar chat masala
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tbsp Ginger (grated)
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tsp Red chili powder
- 0.5 tsp Turmeric powder
- 1 tsp Cumin powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 2 medium Onions (sliced)
- 1 cup Water
- 2 chilies Green chilies (optional, finely chopped)
Instructions
Clean the buffalo meat and pat it dry with paper towels. Trim any excess fat if needed.
In a small mixing bowl, combine zaar chat masala, minced garlic, grated ginger, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, red chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Rub the marinade generously over the buffalo roast, ensuring it is coated evenly. Cover the meat and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight for deeper flavor.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions and sauté until golden brown, about 7-8 minutes.
Place the marinated buffalo roast into the pot and sear on all sides until lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Add the chopped green chilies (if using) and pour in 1 cup of water. Bring the liquid to a simmer.
Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and reduce the heat to low. Simmer the roast for about 2.5 to 3 hours, turning occasionally, until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork. Add a splash of water if the liquid reduces too much during cooking.
Once the roast is fully cooked, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve the Zaar Chat Buffalo Roast hot with steamed rice, naan, or roasted vegetables.
