Mutton Chops Kuzhambu






Mutton chops is nothing but ribs which is considered to be a flavorful part of the goat meat. Varieties of dishes can be prepared using this and click HERE to check out my old post using chops. I have used pressure cooker method in this recipe to speed up the process. Addition of pepper powder at the last stage of cooking enhances the taste and gives a spicy flavorful curry which goes yummy with hot rice, idly or dosa.


Ingredients :

12 Mutton Chops 
2 Big Onions, Chopped 
2 Tomatoes, chopped 
1 Tbsp Ginger - garlic paste 
1 1/2 Tbsp Oil 
1 inch Cinnamon stick 
1 Star anise
2 Elachi 
1/2 Tsp Saunf / Perunjeeragam 
2 Bay leaves
1/4 Tsp Turmeric powder 
1 Tsp Red chilli powder
1 Tsp Coriander powder
1/2 Tsp Garam masala powder
1 1/2 - 2 Tsp Pepper powder 
Salt to taste 
1 1/2 Cups Water

Grind the chopped onions and ginger garlic paste together to a fine paste and keep aside.

Grind the chopped tomatoes to a fine paste and keep aside.

Heat oil in a pressure cooker and add bay leaves followed by saunf, star anise, cinnamon and elachi.

Fry it and add the onion paste.

Saute till the raw smell of onion and ginger - garlic goes off.

Add the tomato paste and cook it for a minute.

Now add the masala powders ( turmeric, chilli, garam masala and coriander ) along with the required amount of salt.

Mix well and cook it for couple of minutes.

Close the cooker lid and pressure cook it for 1 whistle.

Then, completely simmer the flame and cook it for 15 minutes.

Once done, switch off the flame and wait till the pressure released from the cooker.

Now add the pepper powder and adjust salt.

Cook it again for 5 minutes or till the kuzhambu gets its thick consistency.
