6th Mar 2020

To start any spectacular Indian feast, take inspiration from the most popular starter at the iconic Benares Restaurant in Mayfair, London – Tandoori Lamb Chops. This champion dish has been winning over patrons since the restaurant’s star-making opening back in 2007.

Tandoori Lamb Chops – Serves 2

Marinade
