Mom's Mutton Chops

This recipe always reminds me of the days when my mom made it and we used to literally lick the plate clean. The lamb chops was her ultimate dish and for some reason mine never turns out quite like hers...although this is just enough to make me drool all over.....and lick the plate yet again..!


Ingredients :

Mutton Chops - 1 lb
Tomato - 2
Onion ( large) - 1
Ginger Garlic Paste - 2 Tsp
Garam Masala - 1 Tsp
Jeera Powder - 1 Tsp
Turmeric Powder - 1/2 Tsp
Chilli Powder - 2 Tsp
Pepper Powder - 1 Tsp
Curry leaves
Salt
Cook the tomatoes in boiling water for about 5-10 minutes. When cooked, remove from water, peel the skin and puree the tomatoes in a blender. In a pressure cooker, add oil, curry leaves and chopped onions and saute until the onions turn golden brown. Add the ginger garlic paste, saute for about 3-4 minutes and then add all the powders. Add the pureed tomato and saute well until you see some of the oil on the surface. Add the mutton chops and season it with salt and cook for about 4 whistles or for about 45 minutes on medium heat. Once cooked, open the cooker and saute for a couple of minutes more until the gravy thickens. Garnish with chopped coriander and serve hot with rice and salad or parathas.
