Grilled Mutton chaap/chop is a rich Mughlai / Awadhi dish and is usually served along with biryani or roomali roti. Slow cooking makes it absolutely delicious and juicy. Usage of oil is very less since I have grilled the chops instead of frying them. Do give it a try and share your experience with me.

Method
- In a pan heat around 1 tbsp oil add whole spices and sliced onion; sauté it until onion turns translucent
- Now add mutton pieces and fry it for 5 minutes.
- Next add 1 tsp red chilli powder, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder and 1 tbsp Ginger Garlic paste. Sauté for couple of minutes until the raw smell of garlic is no longer present.
- Add salt and 1/2 cup water
- Cover and cook it in slow flame for about 40 minutes.
- Keep on stirring the mutton pieces every 10 minutes
- Once chop is cooked ensure that the water has completely evaporated. After which, let it cool for sometime
- Until then make the masala/coating. In a bowl take 2 tbsp curd, 1 tbsp Ginger Garlic paste, 1/2 tsp Garam masala, 1/2 tsp Cumin powder, 1/2 tsp crushed peppercorns, 1/2 tsp Chilli flakes or chilli powder, dry fenugreek leaves (optional) salt as per taste. Mix them well
- Apply and coat on all the mutton pieces with this masala well. Keep it aside.
- In other bowl take 2 tbsp Cornflour and add around 3 tbsp milk to make it a lumpfree paste/slurp.
- Break two eggs in a bowl add little chilli powder. Beat well and keep it aside
- Now our chops are ready to be grilled. Dip each chop in the Cornflour slurp and then in the egg.
- Place it in a preheated grill pan. Use around 1 or 2 tsp oil to grill the mutton chops
- Keep on turning the pieces so that the chops are cooked evenly
- Serve this grilled charred mutton chop hot as it is or with naan or rice.
Note
- If you are falling short of time, Instead of slow cooking you can cook the chops in pressure cooker for about 6-7 whistles or it depends upon the quality of the mutton
- Try buying tender mutton but if you don’t find it other alternative to make it tender is by applying papaya paste on the mutton pieces about 2-3 hours. It acts like a tenderiser
- Here I have used grill pan to reduce the usage of oil content. You can also shallow fry it in a Tawa
