Tips:

  • Use high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are evenly marbled and have a good amount of meat on them. This will ensure that they are tender and flavorful.
  • Marinate the lamb chops for at least 30 minutes: This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple one made with yogurt, garlic, ginger, and spices is always a good choice.
  • Cook the lamb chops over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the chops while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
  • Don't overcook the lamb chops: Lamb chops are best when they are cooked to medium-rare or medium. Overcooking will make them tough and dry.
  • Serve the lamb chops with a variety of sides: Some good options include rice, naan, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Kashmiri-style lamb chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a flavorful and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try!
