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

Lamb

  • 6 x lamb cutlets

Marinade

  • Dutch Red chillies and Piquillo Pepper paste
  • 20gm Ginger
  • 20gm Garlic paste

  • 10ml Lemon juice
  • 7gm Papaya paste
  • 15gm Roasted Gram Flour
  • 5gm Kashmiri Red Chilli powder
  • 3gm Turmeric powder
  • 3gm Salt

Combine all of the ingredients to make a paste and mix with the lamb cutlets. Marinate the lamb for at least two hours.

Cook lamb in a tandoor or oven at 200 c for 3-4 minutes (based on cutlets of 40gms). Rest the meat for 2 minutes and baste with butter and chaat masala.
