Mutton Chops in Milk (Method 2)

Mutton Chops in Milk (Method 2)

This unique Parsi preparation transforms tender goat chops into a rich, creamy delight by finishing the dish in fresh buffalo milk. The meat and potatoes are first stewed simply to preserve their natural essence, then simmered with milk to create a luscious white gravy that is savory and comforting. Optional whole green chilies add a gentle, aromatic heat to this minimalist yet elegant historical recipe.

Ingredients

  • 6 pieces Mutton chops (goat) (Use tender, fatty chops from a male goat as per original text.)
  • 3 medium Potatoes (Peeled and halved. Quantity estimated based on typical ratios.)
  • 1 cup Whole milk (Originally '1 pasher buffalo milk'. Buffalo milk is richer, but whole cow milk works.)
  • 6 whole Green chilies (Optional, for heat. Keep whole with stems.)
  • 2 cups Water (Estimated for boiling/braising.)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt (Estimated quantity.)

Instructions

  1. 1Clean and wash the mutton chops. Peel the potatoes and cut them into halves or quarters. If using green chilies for spice, wash them thoroughly but keep them whole with the stems intact.
  2. 2Place the chops and potatoes (and green chilies, if using) in a pot. Add salt and enough water to cover. Cook over medium heat until the meat and potatoes are tender and the liquid has reduced significantly, leaving only about 1 cup (approx. 1 pasher) of gravy remaining.
  3. 3Once the liquid has reduced, pour in the milk. Place the pot over low heat (embers) and let it simmer gently. Cook until the flavors meld and the gravy reduces again to about 1 cup in volume. Do not add any other spices or ingredients.
