Lamb or Mutton Chops Curry – For a lamb lover, two things are difficult to ignore, one is Lamb Biryani, and second is Lamb Chops. With no exception, Kapil (my partner) loves both, and then he decided to try out Lamb Chops curry, a spicy curry infused with traditional Indian spices along with Lamb Chops. This recipe is semi dry and can be used along with Indian flat bread or with rice, and no surprise that it tastes equally awesome.
In UK, getting fresh mutton (Goat Meat) is not that an easy possibility. Hence lamb is used here, but feel free to use this same recipe for mutton chops. Based on what Kapil tells me there is also a thing one needs to keep in mind when getting right lamb piece, he always prefers spring lamb, which is normally tender, giving additional taste and cooks relatively quicker too.
The success of this lamb chops curry is good marination, right combination of spices and cooking on medium to low heat. This would then yield succulent and juicy chops, and a rich gravy.
Method
- Clean the lamb chops and add all the items under the marination section, mix well and keep it aside for at least 4 hours.
- Take a wide mouthed pan and add oil, once oil is hot, add chopped onions and fry till light brown. Add cumin seeds, cardamoms and bay leaves.
- Now add chopped tomatoes, and let it cook for couple of minutes.
- Add lamb chops pieces, and red chilli power, kitchen king masala, turmeric powder, and mix it well. After few mins add garam masala, fennel powder and salt. Let this cook for 20-25 times on low-medium flame till the lamb is done. Now add Kashmiri red chilli powder, mix well and cook for another few minutes.
- Switch off the flame and top the curry with green chillies. I like green chillies like this fresh on top, however you can ignore this if you not a chilli person.
- Your lamb chops curry is ready.
Serving suggestion
Serve this lamb chops curry with plain steamed rice or any Indian bread, such as laccha paratha.

Can this be made ahead of time and reheated?
Hi,
Yes that’s possible that you can reheat using microwave. Add a glass of water alongside this in microwave, it will keep these chops moist.
