Mutton Chops made in my family style is one of those dishes that holds a special spot in my heart. It was one of my first go-to dishes when I entered married life. I wasn’t much of a cook back then, but I had a love of Mutton Chops and learnt it from my mom and sisters passionately. The recipe we have adopted from my grandfather who also had passion for cooking. Mutton chops cooked in freshly grounded coconut and pepper with ghee is always a favorite dish in my family.
