Fried Lamb Chops
Description
The recipe starts by braising lamb chops in a mixture of water, ginger and garlic pastes, diced onion, and salt, cooked covered over medium heat for 45 minutes until the meat becomes tender. As the water cooks off, the lamb softens fully. Once cooled, the lamb chops are coated evenly with a dry spice mixture including Kashmiri chili, chili powder, coriander, and cumin powders mixed with egg and cornflour to form a batter.
The coated chops are deep-fried on medium heat for several minutes until the batter crisps up, creating a crisp and spicy outer layer that contrasts with the soft meat inside. This results in a rich and texturally varied dish. Serving with chunky chips provides a traditional accompaniment to the fried lamb chops, rounding out the meal.
The ingredients and method focus on layering flavor through braising and spicy batter, with cooking times calibrated to ensure tender meat while achieving a crunchy fried coating.
