Lamb Chop a la Chettinad

I have always wanted to make a good lamb chop. This is my attempt to add an Indian touch. It was well appreciated by my dear (meat loving) hubby. So here is the recipe.

Ingredients

Lamb Chops - 3-4 trimmed lamb chops

For Spice Rub

Ginger - 1 inch
Garlic - 3-4 cloves
Red Chilies - 2-3 (I recommend Indian Chillies)
Cinnamon Bark - 1/2 inch piece
Black Pepper - 1-1.5 teaspoons
Saunf/Fennel - 2 teaspoons
Coconut - 1 tablespoon

Method

Dry roast the spices with the ginger and garlic.
Dry roast the coconut seperately.
Grind both together.
Rub the spice mixuture on the lamb chops.
Marinate for 3-4 hours.

Sear the two sides of the lamb chops either on a grill or on a frying pan.
Preheat the oven to 375 F. Cook the lamb in oven till well done (35-45 mins).

Serve with lightly flavored rice or baked potatoes.
