Ingredients

  • 4 pounds lamb chops
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger minced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons red chilli powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pink salt

Instructions

  • Cut the rack of lamb to separate each chop.
  • Mix all ingredients in a bowl and coat the lamb chops with the mixture.
  • Marinate meat for about 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Take out of the fridge and let them come to room temperature ( about 15 minutes)
  • Heat a large pan and fry the chops in batches making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
  • Fry each side on high heat for 3-5 minutes per side (depending on how thick the meat is). Medium well is done at 145 degrees fahrenheit/ 63 degrees Celcius.
  • Serve with mint chutney or any other condiment of choice.

Notes

  • Make sure not to over crowd the pan. I usually fit about 4-5 chops per batch. 
  • Use a cast iron pan for the perfect charred look.
  • When making these indoors, remember to scrape the bits of leftover meat between frying batches as they tend to burn and smoke up the kitchen.
