Ingredients

Scale

1/2x 1x 2x 3x

• 3 pounds lamb chops

• 1 cup yogurt

• 2 teaspoons coriander powder
• 2 teaspoons garam masala

• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• Juice of 3 juicy limes
• 1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoon sea salt

• Fresh parsley, chopped

Garam Masala

• 2 tablespoon fennel seeds
• 10 - 12 cardamom pods
• 6 - 8 cloves
• 2 inch cinnamon stick

Instructions

Make the Kerala Garam Masala

1. Heat a dry skillet over low heat. Add the fennel seeds, cardamom pods, cloves and cinnamon stick. Toast the spices for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them. Remove from the heat and allow the spices to cool completely. Transfer the toasted spices to a spice grinder and grind into a fine powder. Set aside.

Prepare the Marinade

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the spices, yogurt and lime juice. Mix well until a smooth marinade forms.

Marinate the Lamb Chops

1. Slice the lamb rack into individual lamb chops. Add the lamb chops to the marinade and coat each piece thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Grill the Lamb Chops

1. Heat a grill pan over medium high heat. Once hot, place the lamb chops in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until nicely charred and cooked to your desired doneness. Transfer the lamb chops to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Garnish and Serve

1. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the grilled lamb chops.

Note

The yogurt helps tenderize the meat while allowing the spices to penetrate deeply into the lamb.
