Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Lamb chops
- 1 cup Yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Ginger-garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Oil or ghee
- 2 medium Onions (finely sliced)
- 2 medium Tomatoes (pureed)
- 2 teaspoons Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cream
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (freshly chopped)
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt to create a marinade.
Add the lamb chops to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
In a large skillet or heavy-bottomed pan, heat oil or ghee over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions and sauté until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
Stir in the pureed tomatoes and cook until the oil begins to separate from the masala, about 5 minutes.
Add coriander powder, cumin powder, and garam masala, stirring well to incorporate the spices.
Gently place the marinated lamb chops into the pan and sear them for 3-4 minutes on each side.
Add water to the pan, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Simmer the lamb chops for 25-30 minutes, or until the meat is tender and the gravy has thickened.
Crush the kasuri methi between your palms and sprinkle it over the dish.
Stir in the fresh cream for a rich and velvety texture.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot with naan, roti, or steamed rice.
