Ingredients

• 8 pieces Mutton chops
• 1 cup Yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Garlic paste
• 1 tablespoon Ginger paste
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh mint leaves (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the mutton chops under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine yogurt, garlic paste, ginger paste, lemon juice, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Add the mutton chops to the bowl and coat them evenly with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

Step 4

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Brush olive oil onto the grill grates or skillet surface to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the mutton chops from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place them on the preheated grill or skillet.

Step 6

Cook each side for 4-6 minutes, or until the chops are browned and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked mutton chops to a serving plate and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped fresh coriander and mint leaves before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot with naan bread, rice, or your choice of side dishes.
