Im going to cooking 4kg of lamb chops… how would I multiply the ingredients?
JazakAllah
You can adjust the servings, and the ingredient amounts will scale up automatically! Just be sure to add salt gradually and taste as you go—4kg of lamb chops sounds like a feast! Hope it turns out amazing, JazakAllah! 😊
Can I use ghee instead of oil? If so, how much? If using tinned chop tomatoes instead of fresh, is 1 can enough?
Great questions! Yes, you can absolutely use ghee instead of oil – it adds a lovely richness to the curry. For the amount, you can use about 2 tablespoons of ghee. As for the tinned chopped tomatoes. Enjoy cooking!
Thank you!!
My Dad used to make a lamb chop curry and this is a proper throwback!!
Thanks again
Hi,
Is there also kasoori methi in this recipe?
Instead of using fresh tomatoes, do you think I can use a can of diced tomatoes? Would you use a whole 26 Oz can or a portion of it? Thanks!
Absolutely! You can definitely use a can of diced tomatoes instead of fresh. For a 26 oz can, I’d recommend using the whole can for a rich, flavourful curry. If you prefer a slightly less saucy curry, you can start with half and adjust to your liking. Hope that helps, and happy cooking! 😊
Hi, if we want to make 1kg lamb chops should we just double the quantity of everything? Thank you
Hey, for 1kg of lamb chops, you can adjust the ingredients proportionally based on your preferences. You may not need to double every ingredient exactly, but it’s a good starting point. Feel free to adjust seasonings to taste.
This is one of the most delicious meat curries I’ve ever eaten (and I’ve managed a lot). The gravy is soooo fragrant. I cooked this in an instant pot so I used half the amount of water suggested. The chops I had were quite thick – 3cm approx (or 1.5 inches) so I cooked it for 15 minutes. Turned out absolutely perfectly.
Thank you so much for the recipe.
Thank you for trying out the recipe and sharing your experience! I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the curry with the modifications you made for the instant pot. Your feedback is much appreciated!
Doesn’t mention the turmeric in the method also is the coriander added at the end fresh ?
I have now amended the description. Yes, the coriander is fresh. I always tend to use fresh coriander but if you don’t have fresh, you can also use frozen coriander. 🙂
It’s got it in recipe
Looks good. Will try on sunday
How did it turn out for you?
