Masala mutton chops

I love chops cooked in any shape or form, but i mainly love them when they have that charred, smoky flavour to them. I have no space in my garden for a barbecue and until recently i have not been able to cook them in my oven either. So due to having a working oven(s) now, i thought i would spontaneously cook some chops! (I say spontaneous, but the marination was 48 hours long! Lol!)

I thiught i would also use this as an experiment to find out how mutton chops would cook without any preboiling and obviously if this had failed then next time i would have preboiled the meat then marinated for 24 hours. You can still do this to ensure that your chops will be soft!

For this, i used:

1 kg mutton chops (about 12 pieces)
1 tsp. Garlic powder (you can use fresh)
1 tsp. Ginger powder (you can use fresh)
1 tsp. Onion powder (optional)
2 tbsp. Lemon juice
1 tsp. Dried methi leaves
1 tsp. Turmeric powder
2 tsp. Bolsts Hot curry powder
2 tsp. Kashmiri red chilli powder
2 tsp. Coriander powder
2 tsp. Cumin powder
1.5 tsp. Garam Masala powder
1 tsp. Paprika
4 tbsp. Sunflower oil
Sea salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
8 whole green chillies
2 onions, thickly sliced

Chopped coriander

Mix all of the above ingredients together in a big bowl, cover with cling film and chill in the fridge for 48 hours.

Take out of the fridge an hour before you bake, and put into a baking tray in a single layer.

Put into an oven at 200°C for 1 hour, turning regularly. Take out of the oven and rest for 15 minutes, before serving.

You can also cover the chops with foil, and slow cook them at a lower heat for 2-3 hours for very soft chops.

Hope you enjoy!
