Chops is probably my most favorite piece of meat. The terrible part is that its mostly made up of fat. My morher used to make this make this and serve it with roti. Its something that can be put together and left unattended for a while and Its a meal on its own. Recently a friend contacted me for a quick and easy recipe for her husband's birthday.

Chops Casserole for 2
1 sprig of curry leaves
1 green chilli slit
1/4 tsp pepper corns
A blob of ghee
1 sprig of thyme/rosemary optional, if you dont have it dont worry about it.
Braise the whole spices in a wide flat skillet with a lid, meanwhile prepare the chops in the following spices
1/2 tsp dhana jeero powder

Salt to taste
Juice of 1 lemon
Pinch of haldi powder
1/2 tsp suhanas meat masala

Mix the spices in about 2 cups of water and place chops in. Once the whole spices are sautéed layer the chops around the pan. And pour the masala water, cover and There after cook on medium heat, checking now and again. Cook till soft but not too tender, adding more water if necessary. Once soft layer the following
