How to prepare Wheel Chops?

1. Cut 1 kg of tender mutton into 3-inch square pieces, slice them thinly, and gently pound both sides. Flatten the meat and trim the edges.

2. Mix the second set of ingredients to prepare a marinade paste.

3. Apply the marinade to the mutton and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.

4. Heat ½ cup oil and sauté the thinly sliced onions until light brown. Remove and set aside.

5. Heat ½ cup oil, take the marinated mutton (excluding the marinade paste), and fry it in batches until half-cooked. Avoid overcrowding the pan for better results.

6. In the same pan, add the remaining marinade paste and bring it to a boil. Pour in 2 cups of water and let it boil well.

7. Add the fried mutton and sautéed onions, stir well, cover the pan, and cook on low heat.

8. When the mutton is tender and coated with thick gravy, remove from heat.

9. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with coriander leaves, mint leaves, and lemon slices. Serve hot.
