METHOD
 Clean and wash the mutton chops thoroughly. Wipe dry with a kitchen towel and flatten
slightly with the blunt edge of a knife. Add the turmeric powder, yogurt and salt and
marinate for one hour, preferably in a refrigerator. For the masala, heat one tablespoon of
oil in a small pan and sauté all the ingredients for two to three minutes. Grind to a fine
paste. Heat two tablespoons of oil in a pressure cooker. Add the onions and sauté till light
pink. Add the ground masala and saute for two to three minutes. Add the mutton chops and
chilli powder and continue to sauté till the masala clings to the chops and the oil separates.
Stir one cup of water into the pan and add salt to taste. Cover the cooker and cook over
medium heat till pressure is released five times (five whistles). Remove from heat and let
the pressure reduce. Remove the lid and simmer till almost all the gravy dries up. Sprinkle
lemon juice and garam masala powder over the chops and serve hot.
