Fried Mutton chops with Green Chutney/Masala coating

Mutton chops are the tastiest addition to any meal – we use the ribs to make these. Simply add a green masala aka chutney to them and they’re even more delicious. I love mom’s green mutton chops recipe!

Some people make these East Indian mutton rib chops by using three coatings for the batter – first the chutney, then the eggs, and then the bread crumbs. We prefer to mix the egg with the chutney to get a more even coating, both texture and color wise. It’s also tastier this way. Here’s the mutton or lamb green chops recipe, mom’s style. Is it the same one from our Gourmand Award-winning cookbook? Yes, it is!

How to Make Fried Green Mutton Chops

Buy a Mix of Meaty or Non-Meaty Chops

We buy a mix of meaty and non-meaty ribs for this recipe, but you can buy all meaty or all non-meaty if you prefer. You could also buy other parts of the goat, but methinks the ribs are the best bit because the rib bone acts like a handle or fork.

Make the Green Masala or Green Chutney

Start by making a green masala which is quite similar to the green chutney. You do this by grinding chillies, ginger, garlic, coriander, mint, salt, sugar, and lemon or sour lime juice. If you already have green chutney stored at home, you can use that too.

Cook the Goat Ribs

Pressure-cook the mutton chops (ribs) with salt until tender, and then allow them to cool. Beat an egg and mix it with the prepared green chutney. (If you’re wondering why there’s two eggs in the picture, it’s because we made double the amount of chops in the recipe). We had to! They disappear from the table very quickly at our dinners!

Coat each chop in the chutney-and-egg mixture, then cover all over with the breadcrumbs and place on a frying pan with oil on it.

There are two ways to do this. If you’re making a small quantity, you can just mix the eggs and chutney together in a plate. But if you’re doubling or tripling the recipe, just add the beaten eggs to a pot of chutney like we sometimes do.

Method 1 – Mix the Green Masala and Beaten Eggs in a Plate

Method 2 – Add the Beaten Eggs to the Pot that has the Green Masala

Fry the Green Masala Covered Goat Chops

Fry the ribs/chops for about 5 minutes on each side until cooked through and crisp on the outside. Repeat with the remaining chops.
