Directions
1.

Bring a pan up to a low/medium heat, then add your veg oil, cumin seeds and coriander seeds. Toast for 1 minute or until fragrant, then place into a pestle and mortar and grind.

2.

Place your lamb chops in a mixing bowl with the toasted spices, 100g of yoghurt, ginger, garlic, remaining spices and vinegar. Massage it into the meat and marinade for 4 hours at least but preferably overnight.

3.

For the mint sauce, add the remaining yoghurt to a blender with the fresh herbs and lime juice. Blend until smooth then season to taste. Set aside.

4.

Preheat your oven grill to its highest heat. Place your chops onto a tray and place near to the top of the oven. After 2 minutes, the lamb should begin to char. Turn the chops over and cook for a remaining 2 minutes. If you like your lamb more well done, cook for a further minute each side.

5.

Garnish the chops with fresh chopped coriander, a wedge of lime and the mint sauce. Enjoy
