Mutton Chops

 This is a recipe from my in laws family. I used to see my in laws make this many times and it was one of their signature dishes, apart from chicken soup kolumbu, and attu kal paaya. 

Mutton chops is a green colored mutton dish made with regular mutton pieces.

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

Mutton with bones  Half kg

Onions : 300 g

Green chillies 4 or more as per taste

Pepper corns 1 - 4 tsp as per taste

Saunf  2.5 tsp

Jeera 1.5 tsp

Ginger garlic paste

Curry leaves

Cashews

Oil 4 tbsp

Coriander leaves

Directions:

Grind together the green chillies, pepper, saunf, jeera and ginger garlic to a course paste

Chop onions finely. Mix mutton, chopped onions, curry leaves and the ground masala. Add half cup water. Pressure cook for 15 minutes or until the mutton is tender.

Take a hard bottomed pan. Heat the oil and fry some curry leaves and cashews until cashews are slightly brown. Add the cooked mutton mixture and simmer until the gravy thickens. 

Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.

Notes:

If the cooked mutton is watery simmer in the cooker until it is somewhat dry. Then add to the pan as mentioned above.

My in laws added some ghee or butter to thicken the gravy. This can also be done.

The cashews give a crunch and it is an addition suggested by my sister in law Viji.
