Grind all the masala ingredients shown above, you don’t need to do it in a pounder, we had no electricity at that time so hand ground the tongue roast masala.

Apply some vinegar on the tongue and then get ready to rub in the masala.

Apply the masala evenly on the tongue, don’t forget to turn it over and rub the masala onto the other side as well and now its patience.

We want the masala to get into the meat so we need to set it aside for 4 to 5 hours with a weight on it.

After the marination is done and your ready to cook the tongue, heat some oil in a pressure cooker.

There is a muscle in the tongue that runs from the base to the tip. One needs to search for it by cutting the base, it is tough slippery filament, with a cloth hold it firmly and pull out the muscle. The tongue turns out more tender with this muscle out if the way

Hi,

Drooling, fond memories of eating this in Mumbai. I am based in UK now and was thinking of using beef meat for the above recipe, since I can't find the meat used above. Do you think it would work? If yes, how much meant (in kg/lb) would be required for the above? Thanks so much.

Love,
Pearl

Just want to share a tip for skinning the tongue. If you buy a fresh tongue all you need to do is dip it in boiling water for 10 minutes then begin the peel the tongue. The front the peels so easily. With the back part you can scrape with a knife and it comes out very easily. Wash and then follow Lisette”s awesome recipie above. If it a frozen tongue then you will have to thaw and boil for 20 minutes.and it will peel. The tongue is still uncooked. Learnt this from my MIL and I have never boiled a tongue for 40 years. I always clean the tongue from fresh and cook it the same day or freeze for a rainy day

This is such a great recipe! I have made it several times without changing anything – it’s perfect as it is! If your tongue is not peeled the easiest way is to keep it semi frozen and use a VERY sharp vegetable peeler. That way you don’t need to cook it first. Cleaning the tongue is the hardest part of this fantastic recipe.
