Mutton Fried Chops are a beloved dish in Indo-Burmese cuisine, known for their rich, spicy marinade and crispy exterior.

Ingredients:

• 1 kg Mutton Chops
• 1 tablespoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Turmeric Powder
• 2 tablespoons Kashmiri Red Chili Powder
• 3 tablespoons Danya Jeera (Coriander-Cumin Powder)
• 2 tablespoons Garlic Paste
• 2 tablespoons Ginger Paste
• 1/4 cup Oil (for initial cooking)
• 3 cups Water
• 6 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Salt (for egg mixture)
• 1 teaspoon Pepper (for egg mixture)
• 1 1/2 cups Oil (for frying)
• Plain Flour (for coating)
• Fresh Onions, Rocket Salad, Lime (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Mutton Chops:
   • In a large bowl, combine the mutton chops with salt, turmeric powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, danya jeera, garlic paste, and ginger paste.
   • Mix well to coat the chops evenly and let them marinate while you prepare the other ingredients.
2. Sear the Chops:
   • In a deep pan, heat 1/4 cup of oil over medium heat.
   • Sear the mutton chops on each side until golden.
3. Cook the Chops:
   • Pour in 3 cups of water, bring to a boil, then simmer with a lid for 2 hours (or 30 minutes for lamb chops).
   • Remove the cooked chops and place them on a baking sheet to cool. Save the leftover broth for potential use in a gravy.
4. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
   • Whisk 6 eggs in a bowl, add salt and pepper, creating an egg mixture.
5. Fry the Chops:
   • In a flat pan, heat 1 1/2 cups of oil for frying.
   • Dip each chop in plain flour, then in the egg mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
   • Fry in the hot oil until golden and crispy, flipping the chops to cook the other side until perfection is attained.
