Crispy Indian-Style Simmered Goat Chops Recipe

1. Season chops generously with salt, pepper, and turmeric. Set aside. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add onion, garlic, ginger, and Serrano peppers and cook, stirring often, untill fragrant and softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the whole peppercorns, cloves, and bay leaf and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes longer. Add the goat and cook in the spice mixture until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add 2 cups of water, bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until cooked through, about 15 minutes.

2. Place egg and breadcrumbs in two separate shallow bowls. Heat remaining 3 tablespoons oil a large non-stick skillet on medium heat until shimmering. Dip the entire chop in the beaten egg and dredge in the breadcrumbs. Fit as many as can fit into an even layer in the skillet and fry, turning over once, until the crumbs are golden brown and crisp. Serve hot with green chutney.

Notes

Lamb chops can be used in place of goat.
