These soft and delicately flavored chops are an absolute delight, both to behold and to eat!

If you want to serve delicious Indian food, that does not require much effort, then this recipe is a good one to have up your sleeve.

Although the list of ingredients seems long, believe me , making this is a breeze. After all they are just ingredients out of a bottle, what difference if you add 4 or more?

There is not much cooking involved in this recipe. All you need is a bit of patience and let the marinade do its work.

I have adapted this recipe from my ever favourite Prashad by Jiggs Kalra.

Method

For the Chops:

1st Marinade:

Marinate the chops in the  1st Marinade for 3 hours.

Marinate the chops now with the 2nd marinade for an hour.

Preheat the oven to 175 C or 350F.

Grill for 10-12 minutes on a raised rack in the roasting tray to let all the drippings fall .

Take out from the oven and let dry for 4-5 minutes.

Don’t be put off by the seemingly long time .. Its just the marination.
