Marinade

Kashmiri Chilli Sauce

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine the grated raw papaya, yogurt, minced garlic, minced ginger, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Lamb Chops

    Add the lamb chops to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator overnight.

Kashmiri Chilli Sauce Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In a small saucepan, combine the Kashmiri chilli powder, minced garlic, minced ginger, vinegar, sugar, water, and salt. Stir well to combine.

  2. 4

    Cook the Sauce

    Heat the saucepan over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Reduce the heat and let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.

Grilling the Lamb Chops

  1. 5

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat. Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

  2. 6

    Grill the Lamb Chops

    Remove the lamb chops from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the chops on the hot grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are charred and cooked to your desired doneness.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Once the lamb chops are grilled, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with the Kashmiri chilli sauce drizzled over the top.
