    Masala Lamb Chops 

    Masala Lamb Chops are juicy, succulent and tender and there isn't much work involved. I have made them when both my kids were very very active and boisterous toddlers. 

    How to make Masala Lamb Chops

    • Pat the lamb chops dry with a paper towel. 
    • Make tiny slits on the lamb chops.
    • Combine the first marinade ingredients and massage into chops. Set aside for 20 minutes.
    • Make a marinade by combining Yoghurt, Cream, Tomato Puree, Lemon, Ginger, Garlic, Vinegar, Papaya, Cumin Powder, Coriander Powder, Paprika, Cayenne, Red Chilli, Black Pepper, Dry Fenugreek, Cinnamon, Garam Masala, Mace, Nutmeg, Salt.
    • Rub the marinade over the lamb chops and let it chill in the fridge for 1 - 2 hours. 
    • Leave out at room temperature for 30 mins before starting to cook.
    • Add to a oven tray with peeled and chopped potatoes. Cook in the oven 180 C/GM 4 for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

    Meat Tenderiser

    Does exactly what the name suggests and I like to use it with Chops. It is just dried papaya which tenderises the meat to make it more succulent.How long do they keep?

    How to Grill

    To grill instead of cooking in the oven, grill for 3 minutes each side.

    Freezing Instructions

    You can marinade the chops and freeze so they are ready to cook at a later date by adding to a ziplock bag and freezing for up to 3 months.

    You can freeze cooked and cooled lamb chops for up to 3 months in a ziplock bag.

    What to serve with Masala Lamb Chops?

    Serve with Roti, Rice, Naan and Kachumbur Salad, Raita or Mint Sauce.

    FOR THE MINT SAUCE

    Combine 2 handfuls Coriander leaves and stems, 1 small handful Mint leaves, 1 Green Chilli, 1/2 tsp Chaat Masala (Optional), 4 tbsp Greek, Plain or Natural Yoghurt and a Pinch of Salt in a blender and blend till smooth.

    You can also serve them with Five Minute Magic Green Avocado Chutney. 

    Notes

    Cooking time depends on Lamb Chop thickness.

    You can change the marinade ingredients as you like and if you don't have an ingredient, just skip or replace with something similar.
