Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces lamb chops (frenched, to create popsicles)
- 250 ml plain yogurt
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin

- 1 teaspoon fenugreek leaves (dried)
- 2 tablespoons butter

- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, combine yogurt, garlic, ginger, lime juice, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and salt. Mix well to create a marinade.
2. Add the lamb chops to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours or overnight for best results.
3. When ready to cook, preheat a grill or stovetop griddle over medium-high heat.
4. Remove the marinated lamb chops from the fridge and let them come to room temperature for about 15 minutes.
5. Brush the grill or griddle with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
6. Cook the lamb chops for about 3-4 minutes per side, depending on your preferred doneness. Set aside and keep warm.
7. For the fenugreek cream curry, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
8. Add the heavy cream, white wine (or water), cayenne pepper, fenugreek leaves, and honey. Stir well to combine.
9. Simmer the sauce for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
10. Adjust seasoning with salt or additional cayenne, if needed.
11. To serve, plate the lamb popsicles and drizzle the fenugreek cream curry sauce over or serve it on the side for dipping.
12. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with steamed rice or naan.
