One of the most delicious goan delicacies is the ox tongue, not just the flavour, but the texture and feel of the meat as well leaves one craving for more. The goan tongue roast definitely is in my books for any occasion or just for a family treat, go ahead and enjoy the goodness of this dish!
Tongue Roast Masala Ingredients:
1 Onion of Garlic
1 1/2 Inch Ginger
8 – 10 Peppercorns
6 – 8 Cloves
2 Inch Piece Cinnamon
1 Teaspoon Turmeric Powder
1 Teaspoon Cumin Seeds
Tongue Roast Main Ingredients:
1 Tongue
2 Table Spoons Vinegar or 1 Sour lime
While frying –
2-3 Broken Red Chillies
Half cut onion
2 Teaspoons Sugar to be Caramalised
Procedure:
Clean the tongue, salt it and keep it aside
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.
Now that your masala is ground, time to spice up that tongue.
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.
Add the sugar to it and wait till it caramelizes.
Once the sugar is caramelized, add the tongue.
Add the broken chillies and continue to fry.
Then add the onions and continue to fry.
Turn the tongue over till both sides are fried.
Then add two glasses of water with any remaining masala
Then pressure cook for 45 minutes, post that open the pressure cooker.
Slice the tongue and then cook it again in the gravy
If there is extra water then boil it down,
Post that your tongue should be ready 🙂 This is as you will soon discover a delicacy, mouth watering and definitely loved by anyone who is willing to eat it. If you like our recipes, be kind enough to help spread and share them this motivates us to do more 🙂
Do you have the recipe of the garlic tongue fry ???
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
what too do if tongue isnt already peeled?
the beef tongue is cleaned already… in the recipe but if we boil and peel it will be cooked already
We love tongue but had never tried it at home… so I was a little apprehensive but it turned out delicious, my whole family enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing this great recipe and hope to see more 🙂
Ursula
boil it and then skin it 🙂
The easiest way is to boil it and then pull out the skin.
How long to boil? Anything to be added while boiling it..
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us, I just cant help but keep making it again and again and it is soooo very yum.

Clyde,
Your recipes remind me of my nana! Your nana’ sister 🙂 I made the beef olives and that was exactly like nana’s when I was growing up. I can’t wait to make the ox tongue!
Hi Celia,
What are beef olives?
Well the recipe is on the website 🙂
sounds delicious but how do you clean the tongue?
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
Please keep the recipes coming. They are EXCELLENT!!!!!

Hi Clyde,

Excellent recipe.. The tongue turned out delicious.. Thanks for sharing your recipe.. I remember last year I tried out your Mazipan recipe.. It was awesome but couldn’t find it this year.. Pls share if possible. Thanks n Merry Christmas to you and your family 🙂
Tried came out nice place post recipe for salted tongue. Tks
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
Thank you Clyde for sharing these lovely traditional goan recipes.. It taste awesome
yummy! we all enjoyed it very much.

The tongue roast looks yummy. Have been trying a lot of your other recipes and they have turned out awesome as well. Thanks for all the efforts in putting together these recipes. Really handy for people like me who are working and wonder what to prepare and where to begin each day.
This is simply an awesome dish, very well documented and easy steps to follow. I have made it number of times now, and it’s yummy as all the other recepies. Thank you.

Thanlk yoi much appreciated .God Bless.
Thanks Nice recipe…..!
Fantastic recipe
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.
You can’t go wrong with this recipe….already tried it 4 times and it turned out great every single time. Thank you for this lovely recipe.
Haha thanks for that, I really enjoy this stuff but sadly now it’s really difficult to get good meats like these in India…
