If there’s one dish that defines indulgence for mutton lovers, it’s a rich Mutton Chops Recipe cooked in a thick, spicy Kolkata-style gravy. Each rib is packed with flavor and texture, with meat clinging beautifully to the bone.
Mutton Hub’s Mutton Chops are hand-trimmed and cut fresh daily, ensuring tenderness and juiciness that supermarket meat can’t match. Whether you’re cooking for guests or planning a weekend treat, this recipe brings restaurant-quality taste right to your kitchen.
Pro Tip: Marinate mutton chops with yogurt, turmeric, chili powder, and salt for 1 hour before cooking to enhance tenderness and spice absorption.
Step 1: Pan-fry the chops
Heat mustard oil in a heavy-bottomed pan. Add the marinated mutton chops and sear them on high flame for 4–5 minutes until lightly browned. Remove and set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the masala base
In the same pan, add sliced onions. Sauté until golden brown. Add ginger-garlic paste and cook until the raw smell disappears.
Step 3: Add spices and tomatoes
Mix in turmeric, chili, coriander, and cumin powder. Stir for a minute, then add chopped tomatoes and green chilies. Cook until the oil separates from the masala.
Step 4: Slow-cook the chops
Return the fried chops to the pan. Mix well with the masala. Add 2 cups of water, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes on low heat until the meat becomes tender and the gravy thickens.
Step 5: Finish and serve
Sprinkle garam masala, garnish with fresh coriander, and serve hot.
