Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Lamb chops | 4 |
| Coriander seeds | 1 tbsp |
| Fennel seeds | 1 tsp |
| Cumin seeds | 1 tsp |
| Dried Kashmiri chillies (or a mix of chili powder and paprika) | 5 dried or equivalent |
| Garlic (peeled and roughly chopped) | 4 cloves |
| Ginger (grated) | 2 tbsp |
| Salt | 1 tsp |
| Rapeseed oil | 1 tbsp |

Instructions
-
Prepare the Spice Paste: Begin by placing the coriander seeds, fennel seeds, cumin seeds, and dried Kashmiri chillies into a pestle and mortar. Crush these ingredients together until they form a fine powder.
-
-
Add Aromatics: Next, add the peeled and roughly chopped garlic, along with the grated ginger and salt to the crushed spices. Grind everything together to create a thick, aromatic paste.
-
Incorporate Oil and Lemon: Pour the rapeseed oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice into the spice paste. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined, ensuring a smooth consistency.
-
Marinate the Lamb Chops: Smear the prepared spice paste generously over the lamb chops, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Allow the chops to marinate for at least 1 hour. For best results, let them sit at room temperature during this time.
-
Cook the Chops: Once marinated, heat a griddle or barbecue to a medium-high temperature. Place the lamb chops on the hot surface and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have a lovely char.
-
Serve: Once cooked, remove the lamb chops from the heat and let them rest for a few moments. Serve hot, accompanied by your favorite sides, and enjoy the delightful explosion of flavors in every bite.
Tips for Success
- Ensure your lamb chops are at room temperature before cooking to achieve an even cook.
- Pair these spicy lamb chops with a refreshing salad or a yogurt-based sauce to balance the heat.
