Spicy Mutton chops

I followed Sanjeev Kappor’s recipe with some modifications and it came out very well. If you want the original recipe you can go here.

It is one of those dishes where I will have to try hard to reach Hubby’s expectations. They have got one hotel at his native place where it is served. Even when it is closed, he looks at that place and drools !!!
