Ingredients

Marinade:

• 1 kg Lamb Chops
• 100 g Yoghurt
• 1 tbsp Oil
• 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
• 1 tbsp Kashmiri Chilli Powder
• 2 tsp Chilli Powder
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Turmeric Powder
• 1 tsp Garam Masala
• 1 tsp Cumin Powder
• 1 tsp Coriander Powder

Curry:

• 100 ml Oil
• 1 tsp Black Peppercorns
• 2 Bay Leaves
• 5 Cloves
• 1 tsp Salt
• 3 Onions finely sliced
• 8 Garlic Cloves
• 1- inch Ginger
• 4 Tomatoes chopped
• 100 ml Water
• 1 tbsp Dried Fengreek
• 2 Green Chillies
• 1 tbsp Cumin Seeds crushed
• Coriander

Instructions

• In a large bowl add all the marinade ingredients, except the lamb chops, and mix until a thick and smooth paste forms
• Add the lamb chops and coat evenly with the marinade then set aside
• In a pan heat up the vegetable oil on medium heat until hot
• Add the finely chopped garlic cloves, crushed ginger, black peppercorns, cloves and bay leaves then sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant
• Add the finely diced onions and the salt then cook for 4-5 minutes until the onions are slightly softened – adding the salt with the onions helps to bring the moisture out of the onion to allow them to cook down and brown more evenly without burning the onions
• Add the tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened
• Add the marinated lamb chops and cook for 6-8 minutes
• Add the water then cover and cook for 45 minutes on medium heat until lamb chops are tender
• Add the dried fenugreek leaves, green chillies and coriander then cook for 2-3 minutes
• Add the crushed cumin seeds and cook for 1-2 minutes – crush the cumin seeds just before adding to the pan as this will ensure maximum aroma and taste
• Your lamb chops curry is ready!
