Mamsaam Chops | Lamb Chops in Black Pepper Gravy

Andhra style Mamsaam Chops or Lamb Chops in Black Pepper Gravy – perfect for an evening drink with friends or with steaming hot rice, dal and a dollop of ghee. The black pepper in the gravy gives the curry a fantastic flavour and depth that is bound to knock your socks off!

Mamsaam Chops – or delectable Lamb Chops in spicy black pepper gravy – the way the lamb is infused with the earthy masalas and the hit of black pepper- you have to eat it once to believe me. I first made this from the book Five Morsels of Love, a book that is full of love and is written in such a heartwarming way. This has now been a regular dish at home. I can’t even begin to tell you how much my friends and family alike love this recipe especially. These spicy Lamb Chops are not only quick and easy to make, the way the tender juicy meat takes on the flavour of the masalas makes them just irresistible.

Everyone who knows me, knows how much I love spices and the aromas associated with them. Most times, when I am cooking a recipe – I feel so content when the smell of the warm aromas hit my nostrils, I cannot tell you.  I can never imagine life without the aromas of spices wafting through my studio or kitchen, whether it be paprika, or cinnamon, a spice that I cannot hide my love for, as you know! 😀  The cinnamon hit in this particular recipe for Lamb Chops, especially gives it a brilliant taste that nothing else can.

    Hi,

    I just discovered your blog and I made the turnip sabji. It is really tasty.

    I am reading more recipes now and came here. The name is maamsam(meat). Just a correction as a telugu speaker.

    Thanks,
    Sushma
