Kashmiri Lamb Chops Recipes

Steps:

• Place red chiles, green chiles, cumin seeds, garam masala, ginger, garlic, grated coconut, and tomatoes into a blender; pulse several times to chop, then blend into a smooth paste.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking and stirring until the onion is very tender and golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes more.
• Stir the spice paste into the onion and cook and stir until the oil separates from the mixture, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in lamb pieces and salt. Cook, stirring frequently over medium-high heat, until the lamb pieces are browned on all sides, about 8 minutes.
• Mix in yogurt, saffron, and blanched almonds until well combined.
• Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, until the meat is tender and the gravy is thick, about 1 hour.
• Garnish the curry with chopped cilantro before serving.

Steps:

• 1. Trim the lamb chops and place them in a large saucepan with the cinnamon, bay leaf, fennel seeds, peppercorns, cardamoms, salt and milk. Bring to a boil over a high heat.
• 2. Lower the heat and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the milk has reduced to about half its original volume.
• 3. At this stage, add the evaporated milk and lower the heat further. Simmer until the chops are cooked through and the milk has evaporated.
• 4. While the chops are cooking, blend together the yogurt, flour, chili powder, ginger, garam masala, garlic and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl.
• 5. Remove the chops from the saucepan and discard the whole spices.
• 6. Add the chops to the spicy yogurt mixture.
• 7. Heat the oil in a deep round-bottomed frying pan or wok. Lower the heat slightly and add the chops.
• 8. Fry until they are golden brown, turning them once or twice as they cook.
• 9. Transfer to a serving dish, and garnish with mint sprigs and lime quarters.
