Ingredients

• 8 pieces lamb chops
• 1 cup full-fat yogurt
• 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
• 0.5 teaspoons turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well to form a smooth marinade.

Step 2

Add the lamb chops to the marinade and coat them thoroughly on all sides. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the lamb marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight for deeper flavor.

Step 3

Remove the lamb chops from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Place the marinated lamb chops on the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook them for 4-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the chops, until they develop a nice, golden-brown crust.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and cook the chops for an additional 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or to your desired level of doneness.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the lamb chops from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Garnish the lamb chops with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot. Pair with naan, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
