 Note:
•Marinating time is so important for a mutton to get cooked nice and soft.
•Just give a prick with the fork before marinating all the chops.
•Bake with a lower temperature for more time as the inner should get cooked well.
•Higher temperatures cause outside to burn and leave the inner chops undercooked.
•Let the marinating be semi-thick,if its thin then water will start to release while baking,which you may need to discard.
• Do not overcook the chops as it may become chewy and dry.
•Check the spiciness of the marination,if readymade chops masala powder has chilli flakes then do not add it again.
