Spicy Lamb chops with Potatoes with Tomato Chutney

Lamb chops and potatoes: 

Ingredients

1. Lamb chops :  6
2. Potatoes:  3, 4 medium size (cut in 4 halves)
3. Yogurt: 3/4 cup
4. Red chilli: To taste
5. Salt: To taste
6. Turmeric: 1/2 tsp
7. Garam Masala powder: 1 tbsp
8. Lemon juice: 2-3 tbsp
9. Ginger, garlic paste: 1 tbsp each
10. Oil 3-4 tbsp or as required for shallow frying

Instructions:

1. Combine all the spices and yogurt. Add potatoes and lamb chops in it. Marinate for atleast half an hour. The longer, the better. 
2. Then add everything to a pan. Cook covered on medium heat. The yogurt will give away its water and the meat will start cooking. 
3. Keep an eye on the potatoes and when they are half tender, take them out but let the meat cook till its tender. The yogurt will get dry and will be sticking to the chops. If the yogurt dries up before meat is tender, add a little water to it to avoid any burning. 
4. Take a pan. Add some oil in it. Shallow fry the chops till they are browned and cooked, take them out.
5. In the same pan, add potatoes and cook them till they are golden and ready. 
6. Serve with tomato chutney. 

Tomato Chutney:

Ingredients

1. Tomatoes : 3 ( Cut into halves, bake at 180 C for 10 minutes, take the skin off)
2. Mustard seeds : A pinch
3. Zeera : ½ teaspoon 
4. Red chilli: To taste
5. Salt: To taste
6. Turmeric: 1/4 tsp
7. Garam Masala: 1 tsp
8. Green chillies : 1 tbsp (sliced)

Instructions

Heat a little oil in a pan. Add the zeera and mustard seeds. When they splutter, add the remaining spices and tomatoes. Mash them with spoon to make a paste. Just cook for a few minutes till the chutney looks ready. Tomatoes are already baked so they will cook faster. Add some fresh coriander, if you like.

Happy eating! :)
