Ingredients
  

1 kg Mutton Chops (Ribs)
500ml Cooking Oil (for deep frying/searing)
1 tsp Salt (adjust to taste)
1/2 tbsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
4-5 Medium Tomatoes (Skin removed)
1 cup Water
2-3 Green Chilies (Medium size)
1/2 tbsp Red Chili Flakes (Kuti Lal Mirch)
1 tsp Crushed Coriander (Kuta Dhania)
1 tsp Crushed Cumin (Kuta Zeera)
1/2 tsp Black Pepper Powder
1/2 tsp White Pepper Powder (Safaid Mirch)
Fresh Ginger (Julienne) and Coriander for garnish
1 piece of Charcoal (for smoke)

Method
 

Deep Fry: Heat oil in a large wok. Add the mutton chops and 1 tsp salt. Deep fry the meat for 7-8 minutes until it changes color and develops a slight crust.
    Sauté: Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the raw smell disappears and the aroma infuses into the meat.
      Tenderize: Add the tomatoes (cut into halves) and 1 cup of water. Cover the pot and cook for 8-10 minutes on medium heat.
        Skin Removal: Open the lid and carefully remove the softened tomato skins. Mash the tomatoes directly in the pot so they blend into a gravy.
          Spice Infusion: Add green chilies, red chili flakes, crushed coriander, crushed cumin, black pepper, and white pepper.
            Bhunayi: Increase the heat to high and stir-fry (Bhunayi) for 4-5 minutes until the water dries up and the oil separates, coating the chops in a thick masala.
              The Dum (Smoke): Place a piece of red-hot charcoal in a small foil bowl or onion skin inside the pot. Drizzle a drop of oil on the coal and cover the lid immediately for 1 minute.
                Garnish: Remove the coal. Top with fresh julienne ginger and coriander. Serve hot with tandoori naan.

                  Notes

                  • Pro-Tip: If the mutton is tough, you can pressure cook it with the ginger-garlic paste and water for 10 minutes before the frying stage.
                  • Spice Adjustment: For a more "Chatpata" taste, sprinkle half a teaspoon of Chaat Masala and extra lemon juice right before serving.
                  • Coal Selection: Use natural wood charcoal (Koyla) for the best smoky flavor; avoid quick-light coals as they have a chemical smell.
