Recipe Instructions:
-
Marinate the Lamb:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground cumin, ground turmeric, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and a dash of oil.
- Add the lamb loin chops to the bowl and mix well, ensuring each chop is coated with the spice mixture.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 3 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
Prepare the Lentils:
- In a medium-sized pan, combine the red lentils, vegetable stock, and minced garlic.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
-
Cook the Lamb:
- Heat a large, oiled pan over medium-high heat.
- Once the pan is hot, add the marinated lamb loin chops, cooking them in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Cook the chops for a few minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness.
-
Prepare the Banana Raita:
- In a separate medium-sized pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the melted butter and allow it to caramelize slightly.
- Add the sliced banana to the pan and cook until they are lightly browned and softened.
- In a medium bowl, combine the caramelized bananas with the yogurt, mixing until well incorporated.
-
Serve:
- Arrange the cooked lamb chops on a serving platter alongside the lentils.
