  2. To make the sauce, heat the corn oil in a deep round-bottomed frying pan (skillet) or a karahi (wok). Lower the heat and add the chopped tomatoes. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes. Gradually add the bay leaf, garam masala powder, plain yogurt, garlic, red chilli powder, salt, black cumin and peppercorns, and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes.
  3. Lower the heat again and add the cooked potatoes, mixing everything together well. Remove from the heat and set aside.

  5. Heat the sauce in the wok, bringing it to a boil. Add the chops and lower the heat. Simmer for 5-7 minutes.
  6. Transfer to a warm serving dish and garnish with mint sprigs and lime slices.
