Instructions
Marinate the lamb chops with the first marinade ingredients.
Allow the lamb chops to marinate for at least an hour. To allow the salt to penetrate into the meat and the lemon juice to tenderise the chops.

The Kashmiri chilli paste is not spicy, but gives a vibrant red colour.

Make up the second marinade by mixing in all the listed ingredients.
Just before grilling apply the second marinade.

Fire up the charcoal BBQ, I highly advise using a charcoal chimney starter.

Preheat your grill and grates to a very high heat.

Place the chops down, you should be able to hear the sizzle when the lamb chops heat the grate.

Frequently flip every 30 seconds.

Continue fliping until you get a nice crust. Lamb chops are best served medium.

Once your lamb chops are done, put the chops aside to rest before serving.

The rest allows the lamb chops to retain its juiciness.
