Mutton chops is a tasty appetizer. This dish is from the north side of Tamil Nadu. I am not a big fan of mutton but this dish is an exception.I love it. Tastes good when served with Rasam and Steamed Rice.

Always use tender mutton to prepare this dish. In some places, if we ask the butcher to cut the mutton pieces for chops he cuts accordingly. Otherwise, we can use medium sized mutton pieces with flesh and bones together.
