Kadhai Mutton Chops
A Pakistani style mutton kadhai where the meat pieces are cooked separately in a pressure cooker to speed up the cooking procedure. The spices and aromatics used are very less but the flavors are great. This dish goes very well as a side dish with steamed rice and dal, or you can just relish it with hot phulkas or parathas.
