Crunchy Mutton Chops

Crunchy Mutton Chops

Mutton Chops are my fav and they go well with anything and everything, be it just chilled beer, or with paratha/roti or even with something like sambar rice or dal rice! I prefer chops from goat meat instead of lamb meat, and today have tried to follow a Syrian Christian recipe, with some of my own deviations ofcourse!

INGREDIENTS:

Mutton Chops 500 gms, 3 medium sized onions finely chopped, ½ tsp each pepper powder and red chilly powder, 1 tsp coriander powder, 1 tsp garam masala, ¼ tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp oinion-garlic masala powder, 2 tbsp oil, curry leaves, salt to taste

METHOD:

Heat 200 ml of water in a pan and add the mutton chops. Add salt and turmeric and cover n cook on low heat for 40 mins, till the water almost dries up.

In a wok, heat 2 tbsp oil, add curry leaves and the onions.

Fry for 5 mins till they turn light brown. Add all the dry spices one by one. Saute for another 5 to 7 mins on medium heat till the onion-masala combo is nicely fried.

Add the almost cooked mutton chops to the wok, and fry for about 5 mins stirring regularly. Add half a cup of water. Cover and cook for about 15 mins, turning a few times. Switch off the burner, leave for 2 mins, squeeze half a lemon, and serve hot!
