Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Lamb chops
- 1 cup Plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 2 teaspoons Curry powder
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 piece Lemon, juiced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, honey, turmeric, cumin, coriander, curry powder, garlic, ginger, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the lamb chops into the bowl, ensuring each chop is well coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Remove the lamb chops from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 20 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Sear the marinated lamb chops for 4–5 minutes on each side until they develop a caramelized crust and are cooked to your desired doneness (internal temperature for medium-rare is 135°F).
Remove the lamb chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Garnish the lamb chops with chopped cilantro and serve immediately with your favorite sides like jasmine rice, naan bread, or roasted vegetables.
