Ingredients
- 1 kg lamb chops
- 3 tablespoons yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons ginger and garlic (paste)
- 1 tablespoon mustard seed oil
- 2 tablespoons tomato (paste)
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 tablespoon Kashmiri red chili powder
- 1 tablespoon coriander powder
- 1 tablespoon cumin powder
- 1 tablespoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon black pepper powder
- 1 tablespoon salt (or to taste)
Instructions
- In a bowl, add yogurt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, mustard seed oil, tomato paste, turmeric powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, black pepper powder, and salt. Whisk well until smooth.
- Trim any excess fat from the lamb chops. Add them to the marinade and coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 4 to 5 hours, preferably overnight.
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and arrange the chops on it.
- Bake for 30 minutes, flipping the chops halfway through for even cooking.
- Once done, sprinkle with chaat masala and squeeze some lemon juice over the chops.
- Serve hot with naan, onion salad, mint chutney, and imli chutney. Enjoy! And remember “COOKING IS EASY!”

Notes
- For best results, use Greek yogurt.
- For thick lamb chops, use a meat mallet to gently pound them thinner.
- Cooking time may vary depending on the size and thickness of your chops and your oven model, so adjust as needed.
