Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 8 lamb chops (2.5 cm thick)
- 2 tbsp garam masala
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp ground coriander
- 2 tsp turmeric powder
- 2 tsp red chili powder
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp ginger paste
- 120 ml plain yogurt
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 pinch Salt & Pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, and all spices to create the marinade.
- Coat the lamb chops thoroughly with the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for 4-24 hours.
- When ready to cook, remove the chops from refrigeration 30 minutes before grilling. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (200°C/400°F).
- Remove excess marinade, brush the chops with oil, and grill for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
- Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
For best results, verify your grill is properly preheated before cooking, and avoid moving the chops too frequently while grilling to achieve proper searing. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: 57°C/135°F for medium-rare or 63°C/145°F for medium.
