Arabic 15 Mins Prep · 20 Mins Cook
- Finely grate 2 garlic cloves and thinly slice the chilli.
- Place the chops in a bowl and add the garlic, chilli, spices and 2 tbsp of olive oil and marinate for 1 hour.
- Place the breadcrumbs in a wide shallow bowl and the flour in another. Whisk the eggs in a third bowl and season with 1 tsp of salt.
- Pour the sunflower oil into a frying pan, to come approx. 1cm deep, and place it over a medium-high heat.
- Dip the lamb chop cutlets first in the flour, then the egg and finally press them into the breadcrumbs before frying them in the hot oil.
- Cook the chops for approx. 3 minutes each side (they should be a deep golden brown and crunchy outside, and slightly pink on the inside).
- To make the chutney, place the peanuts in a food processor and process until smooth. Add the fresh mint, coriander, the remaining garlic clove, fresh ginger, green chillies, 1 tsp tamarind paste mixed in 4 tbsp of water, lemon juice, 1 tbsp of olive oil and salt to taste, and blend until smooth. Season well.
- Serve the chops with the mint chutney and chopped cucumber on the side.
