Rezalla Lamb Cutlets

One of my favourite meals is a Indian rack of lamb or the same Rack chopped into cutlets, like I had Sunday
.
Quite straight forward method and recipe. But it is hard not to eat the cutlets before they hit the curry.

Chop and trim up the cutlets, bash them out to about twice the size.

Mix this marinade and taste it for seasoning.
3 Tbs Yogurt, 2 Tsp G&G, 1Tsp Black Pepper, 1Tsp Chilli Powder, 1 Tbs Coriander Powder
1Tbs White Vinegar, 1Tbs Lemon Dressing, 1Tsp chopped Coriander Leaf, Thicken with 1Tsp of Cornflour and add a good pinch of Salt.

Coat and leave in a marinade for as long as you want if your organised, but an hour will do.

I use a griddle pan to cook these, but you could use an oven or grill.

Starting the curry off, with oil, service onion, 2 small Bay Leaves (not Bangladeshi) and a couple of small pieces of dalchini. cook and stir a minute.

Add 1tsp of G&G and cook 10secs, add 1Tbs Tomato Puree dilute, 1tsp Mix powder,
1tsp Chilli powder, half a tsp of white pepper powder.

At this point add some chunky Onion and Capsicum and (optional) a couple of fresh chillies
let this cook for a minute or so, then stir in what's left of the marinade, or at least 1Tbs.

Combine, then add a ladle of base gravy and the lamb cutlets.
Cook for 3-4minutes, until the oil separates.

Served with a Saffrani Pilau. Yum.

The recipe reads like a winner, Chewy and, as ever, looks the business on the plate too.

I'm just away to have my pasta now...

Lovely dish. Might try it with pork chops.

Great looking dish CT.  I certainly wouldn't want to get the cooking bit wrong given the price of a rack of lamb ribs  ;D  That pic is just putting me in the mood for my left over NIS

It is a great looking dish indeed - CH you are not wrong on the price of a rack of ribs they are very expensive out here too.

best, Rich

Lamb chops are very expensive nowadays.

I buy 24 smallish frozen lamb cutlets from Farmfoods for 10 quid. That's 3 packs of 8.

They are a bit small but you're getting to eat 4 chops for

Thanks for the comments lads

Obviously on the meat, you get what you pay for.
Lamb has always been pricey, but you can pick up a portion of fresh cutlets for under 3

Is this a BIR dish? I have never heard of it (or can't recall it ) and I have been all over the UK in the last 50 years or so. It certainly doesn't look like any curry that I know and love.  I like Madras or a Vindaloo but I am always willing to try the chefs specials depending on how I feel!

[PaulMcartney]

No offence meant ,I have just not seen this curry before.  I have just read through my post and it does seem a little bit blunt.. 
My usual will either be popadums, chicken madras or vindaloo, naan and rice, but more and more frequently I do love a tandoori mixed grill with a vindaloo sauce with a naan (various types I love them all).  It does seem to me that the curries stay pretty much the same but the tandoori mixed grills vary wildly! I only wish I could eat more, as "my eyes are bigger than my belly" as my mum used to tell me!
