Shan Fried Chops/Steaks Mix is a dry-coating spice blend formulated for pan-frying or shallow-frying lamb chops and beef steaks in the South Asian style. This fried chops masala is about building a flavourful crust on the outside of the meat while keeping the inside tender and juicy. The blend features black pepper, cumin, paprika, and a touch of heat that pairs perfectly with the richness of fried meat.

Every Shan packet contains a pre-measured fried steak spice mix with cooking instructions. The brand has been delivering authentic South Asian flavours to home kitchens for decades, and this mix is a favourite for quick, impressive meals that require minimal preparation time.

Rub the spice mix onto lamb chops or beef steaks along with a little oil and lemon juice, then let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour. Pan-fry in a hot skillet with a generous amount of oil until the crust is golden and crispy. Serve with fried onions, a wedge of lemon, and hot naan or paratha. These also make an excellent side for a biryani spread.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Unopened packets keep their full potency until the printed expiry date. Shan Fried Chops/Steaks Mix is available from Hills Harvest alongside other south eastern asian spice blend options and Pakistani spice mixes -- halal grocery delivery across The Hills Shire, Blacktown, Parramatta, and Hawkesbury.
