Tandoori Lamb Chops
Tandoori Lamb Chops are marinated with a blend of yogurt, tandoori masala, Kashmiri chili, turmeric, and other spices to create a thick, flavorful paste that tenderizes and seasons the lamb. The chops are baked covered at 200°C for an hour, then flipped, basted with their juices, and baked uncovered to develop a rich crust. This method results in tender, spiced lamb chops ideal for serving alongside hearty sides like chunky chips.
