250 grams Mutton Chops
1 cup Onions finely chopped
1- inch Cinnamon
2 Cloves
2 teaspoon Ginger Garlic Paste
1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
Salt to taste
1/2 cup Tomato chopped
2 teaspoon Red Chili Powder

For Making the Chops

Wash and drain the mutton chops
Take the chops in a pressure cooker with a pinch of turmeric powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt. Pressure cooker for 2 whistles.
Once the pressure falls, heat a kadai with oil, add cinnamon, and clove.
Next, add the finely chopped onions, saute until the onions change colour.
Drain the water, you can add it later. Add the cooked chops and mix well. Let the chops get well cooked in oil for 5 mins on low flame.
Now add the ginger-garlic paste and combine.
Next add the turmeric powder, chopped tomatoes along red chili powder.
Cook on low flame and add salt after 5 minutes.
Now add the drained water and cook on high flame for 5 to 7 minutes.
Add the ground spice powder, keep stirring and allow the water to be evaporated. By now the masala is well coated and you will have dry chops.
Add chopped coriander leaves and serve as a side dish.

Notes

Meat Selection: If "Mutton" isn't available at your local butcher, Lamb Chops are a perfect substitute. They are slightly more tender and may require 1 less whistle in the pressure cooker.
The Spice Level: This is a "medium-heat" dish. If you prefer a milder version, reduce the red chili powder by half or use Kashmiri Chili Powder for a bright red color without the intense heat.
Shortcuts: If you are in a rush, you can substitute the whole spices with 2 teaspoons of a high-quality Garam Masala, though the fresh-ground version is recommended for the best aroma.
