Method:

1. Place all the ingredients except the oil and egg in a heavy based pan and bring to the `boil. Cover and simmer over a medium-low heat for 20 minutes.

2. Remove the lid and increase with heat to dry off any remaining water. Push the meat and spices up the bones to leave about 2.5cm/1 in of clean bone so that the chops are easier to eat with your fingers.

3. Heat the oil in a frying pan. Dip the chops in beaten egg and fry until golden brown on both sides. Serve hot at tea with chutney or at a meal with pulao, chapattis, dal and a potato-bean dish.
