Ingredients

6 teaspoons coriander-cumin powder

1/2 teaspoon garam masala

1 teaspoon turmeric powder

1 1/2 teaspoons red chilli powder

2 smalls green chillis – finely chopped

2 plump cloves of garlic – finely chopped

1 teaspoon salt

4 tablespoons oil

25 grams of fresh coriander (cilantro)

500 grams lamb chops

Preparation

Put the coriander-cumin powder, garam masala, turmeric, chilli powder, green chillies, garlic, salt and oil in a large mixing bowl.

Mix well, add the chopped coriander and stir again.

Thoroughly coat the lamb chops with the mixture and then leave to marinade for a least one hour.

Cook on a barbeque for best results. If the weather isn’t suitable for a barbeque then they will be fine cooked under a grill.

Serve immediately with salad and potatoes. We like to dice the potatoes and coat them with olive oil, a couple of cloves of crushed garlic and some salt and pepper. We then wrap them in a foil parcel and cook on the barbecue for twenty minutes.
