How to Make Spicy Lamb Chops With Tomato Cucumber Raita
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup plain yogurt, 1/2 cup diced cucumber, 1/2 cup diced tomato, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint, 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add 1 clove minced garlic.
- Cover the raita and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons curry powder, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or less, to taste), and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Generously press the spice rub onto both sides of 4 lamb chops (about 1 inch thick).
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill lamb chops for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for your desired doneness.
- Serve the grilled lamb chops immediately, topped with a generous dollop of the chilled tomato-cucumber raita.
