Friday is what we call a fun family night and this Kashmiri Lamb Chops Curry is a perfect way to welcome the weekend!

What is Kashmiri Lamb Chops Curry?

It’s nothing but Indian Lamb Chops made using a special ‘Kashmiri Spice Blend’ in a yogurt sauce.

Kashmir is a state in the north of India and extremely popular for it’s rich, aromatic dishes cooked using ‘Saffron, Fennel, Almonds and Cardamom’.

Just the aroma of all 4 ingredients together can send your taste bud ticking for more exciting and delicious recipes.

Another extremely important ingredient in Kashmiri cooking is ‘Red Chillies’, which are famous all over the world for its bright red color.

They are not that spicy as they look but gives an extremely bright…almost burning red kind of a color which at times we mistake for too much heat.

If you would have looked carefully into any of the store bought Tandoori Spice Blends, you might see ‘Kashmiri Chillies’ as an ingredient (bright color and less hot).

So, once you have my ‘Kashmiri Spice Blend’ ready, this recipe comes together in 30 minutes.

You can store this blend upto 6-7 month in an air-tight jar and use whenever you want to make this Kashmiri Lamb Chops Curry or even Kashmiri Dum Aloo.

Once the spice blend is ready, you just need to pan sear the Marinated Lamb Chops till lightly cooked.

And then finish off cooking rest of the marinade into a thick luxuriously creamy, aromatic sauce.

This ‘Kashmiri Lamb Chops Curry’ as Bae say is a perfect blend of spices and meat that satisfies your soul.

Once cooked, the curry is bright red (because of Kashmiri Chili Powder) but doesn’t taste as hot as it looks.

Just a quick squeeze of lemon and you can serve this Kashmiri Lamb Chops Curry along with fresh steamed rice or even Indian naan or dinner rolls.
