Ingredients

garlic paste 2 tsp
ginger paste 2 tsp
greek yogurt 100g, plus extra to serve
paprika 1 tbsp
ground cumin 1 tbsp
garam masala 2 tsp
mild chilli powder 1 tsp
lemon 1, juiced

KACHUMBER

cucumber ½, chopped
onion ½, finely chopped
green chilli 1, deseeded and finely chopped
coriander ½ a small bunch, chopped

Method

Step 1

Mix the garlic and ginger pastes, yogurt, spices and lemon juice with a little seasoning in a bowl until fully combined. Add the lamb chops and mix really well again, then cover and chill for 4 hours but preferably overnight.
Step 2

Remove the lamb chops from the fridge 30 minutes before you’re ready to cook. Mix together everything for the kachumber salad with some seasoning.
Step 3

Heat a BBQ or griddle pan to hot. Scrape off the marinade from the lamb chops and season. Grill the chops for 1-2 minutes each side until really charred. Rest on a plate for 5 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing, the kachumber, roti or naan and a little seasoned yogurt.
