How to Make Peri-Peri Chops: Detail Step-by-Step

Parboiling the Chops:

• Begin by placing 1 kg of mutton chops in a pot with enough water to cover them.
• Bring the water to a boil and parboil the chops for 10-15 minutes, or until they are slightly tender. This step helps to ensure the chops are cooked through later.
• Drain the water and set the parboiled chops aside.

Marinating the Chops:

• In a large bowl, combine the following ingredients: 2 tbsp vinegar, ½ cup yogurt, 2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste, 4 tbsp flour, 1 tbsp peri-peri masala, and 1 tsp black pepper.
• Add the parboiled chops to the marinade and mix thoroughly, ensuring that each chop is well coated.
• Let the chops marinate for at least 2 hours, or preferably longer, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

Deep Frying the Chops:

• Heat enough oil in a deep frying pan or wok for deep frying.
• Coat the marinated chops with 1 packet of crispy fry.
• Carefully place the marinated chops in the hot oil and deep fry them until they are golden brown and cooked through.
• Remove the fried chops from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Preparing the Peri-Peri Sauce:

• In a separate wok or pan, heat a small amount of oil.
• Add ½ cup julienned green chilies, 15-20 curry leaves, and 1 heaped tsp chopped garlic. Fry until the garlic is lightly golden and the chilies are softened.
• Add ½ cup ketchup, ¼ cup chili sauce, 3 tbsp peri-peri sauce, a pinch of orange food color, and the remaining spices.
• Cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring continuously, until it thickens slightly.

Combining Chops and Sauce:

• Add the fried chops to the prepared peri-peri sauce.
• Mix well, ensuring that the chops are evenly coated with the sauce.
• Cook for a few minutes so the chops absorb the sauce.

Final Touches and Serving:

• Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
• Serve the Peri-Peri Chops hot with French fries or your favorite side dishes.

Tips and Tricks To Prepare The Peri-Peri Chops:

• For extra tender chops, marinate them overnight.
• Adjust the amount of peri-peri sauce and masala to suit your spice preference.
• Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying the chops to prevent them from becoming greasy.
• For a more intense peri-peri flavor, add a dash of peri-peri oil to the sauce.

Other Variations:

• Chicken Peri-Peri: Substitute mutton chops with chicken pieces for a lighter option.
• Grilled Peri-Peri: Instead of deep frying, grill the marinated chops for a healthier version.
• Peri-Peri Gravy: add chicken or beef stock for a gravy version.
