Add equal parts of 1 teaspoon each of cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, and a little garam masala, along with a whole cinnamon stick, cumin seeds, and a couple of cloves.

Cook the lamb chops for 2 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4 minutes.

Add fresh curry leaves, green chili, and garlic ginger paste to the pan.

Add sliced red onions and mix everything together.

Cover with a lid and cook on medium to high heat for 5 minutes.

Add sliced ripe tomatoes on top of the mixture without stirring.

Cover again and cook for another 5 minutes to allow the tomatoes to break down and create a sauce.

Check the mixture; if it's too dry, add a splash of water.

Lower the heat and cook uncovered for another 5 minutes.

Stir in fresh coriander and fresh mint before serving.
