How to Make Pakistani style lamb chops

Try making an Indian cuisine inspired lamb chop masala. You will want to season your lamb with a combination of yogurt and masala spices. This can then be cooked up over the stove for tender and flavorful meat.

8 Lamb Chops
1 tbsp. of Fresh Mint Leaves (Podina) (chopped)
1 bunch of Mint Sprigs (Podina)
1 tbsp. Fresh Coriander Leaves (Hara Dhania) (chopped)
1 Lime (Nimbu) (sliced)
Salt (to taste)
150 ml. of Lemon Juice
2 tbsp. Olive Oil
150 ml. of Corn Oil

3 medium Potatoes (roughly chopped)
2 medium Potatoes (boiled, peeled and roughly chopped)
3 Peppercorns (Saabut Kaali Mirch)
1 Bay Leaf (Tezz Patta)
1 tsp. Garam Masala Powder
1/4 tsp. Black Cumin (Kaala Zeera)
1 tsp. Red chili Powder (Pisi Lal Mirch) (or to taste)
Salt (to taste)
1 tsp. Garlic Pulp
2 tbsp. Plain Yogurt
3 tbsp. Corn Oil

Put the lamb chops in a large bowl. Mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and fresh mint and fresh coriander leaves. Pour the oil mixture over the chops and rub it well with your fingers. Leave to marinate for at least 3 hours.

To make the sauce, heat the corn oil in a deep round-bottomed frying pan (skillet) or a karahi (wok). Lower the heat and add the chopped tomatoes. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes. Gradually add the bay leaf, garam masala powder , plain yogurt , garlic, red chili powder, salt, black cumin and peppercorns, and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes.
Lower the heat again and add the cooked potatoes, mixing everything together well. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Heat 150 ml cup corn oil in a separate frying pan. Lower the heat slightly and fry the marinated chops until they are cooked thoroughly. This will take about 10-12 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain the cooked chops on absorbent paper towel.
Heat the sauce in the wok, bringing it to a boil. Add the chops and lower the heat. Simmer for 5-7 minutes.
Transfer to a warm serving dish and garnish with mint sprigs and lime slices.
