Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Indian Lamb Chops
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine cooking oil, freshly squeezed lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, coarse salt, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly to create a fragrant marinade.
  2. Add the lamb chops to the bowl, coating each piece generously with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
  3. Remove the lamb chops from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to grilling. Preheat your grill to high heat, around 450°F to 500°F.
  4. Place the marinated lamb chops on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, aiming for an internal temperature of 135°F to 145°F.
  5. After grilling, transfer the chops to a serving plate and tent loosely with foil. Allow them to rest for about 10 minutes.
  6. Slice and serve the Indian Lamb Chops warm, paired with refreshing sides like a Mango Lassi or traditional Indian accompaniments.
