Description
These Spicy Lamb Lahori Chops are rich, spicy, buttery, and messy as you would expect. The lamb turns beautifully tender while the stir-fried peppers and onions soak up all those spicy pan juices.
Ingredients
Lamb Chops
- 2.2 lb – 1 kg lamb chops
- 1 tbsp garlic ginger paste
- 2 red chili peppers, finely chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 2 tbsp tomato sauce
- 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp steak and chops spice
- 1 tsp BBQ spice
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 3 tbsp ghee
- 4 garlic cloves, chopped
Stir Fry Topping
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the 1 tbsp garlic ginger paste, 2 chopped red chili peppers, 1 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp chili powder, 2 tbsp tomato sauce, 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp steak and chops spice, 1 tsp BBQ spice, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- Add the 2.2 lb – 1 kg lamb chops and rub the marinade into every little corner.
- Cover and marinate for at least 2 hours, but overnight gives the best flavour.
- Heat 3 tbsp ghee in a large heavy pan over medium heat.
- Add the 4 chopped garlic cloves and fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the marinated lamb chops along with all the marinade.
- Braise on medium to low heat (depending on the size and thickness of the chops, around 45-60 minutes), turning now and then, until the chops are tender and properly cooked through.
- If the pan starts drying out too quickly, add a small splash of water and continue cooking.
- Once the chops are tender, increase the heat slightly for a few minutes to help the sauce thicken and lightly coat the chops. You want them glossy, not swimming in liquid.
- In a separate pan, heat 2 tbsp ghee over medium heat.
- Add the sliced red onion and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes until softened.
- Add the julienned green pepper, red pepper, yellow pepper, chopped tomato, sliced green chili, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp turmeric.
- Stir fry for 6 to 8 minutes until the tomatoes break down slightly and the peppers are tender but still have a little bite.
- Arrange the lamb chops on a serving platter and spoon the stir-fried vegetables over the top.
- Scatter fresh dhania over everything before serving.
- Serve hot with naan, roti, fries, or even saffron rice if you’re extra hungry.

Additional Information
- Can I use beef chops instead? Yes, but beef chops usually need longer cooking for tenderness.
- Can I grill the chops instead? Absolutely. Braise first until nearly tender, then finish on the grill for smoky flavour.
- How spicy is this recipe? It has a medium heat level. Reduce the red chili peppers or green chili if you want it milder.
- Can this be frozen? Yes. Let the chops cool completely, then freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months. The stir-fry vegetables are best made fresh, though.
- How long can this be stored and how? Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a covered pan with a splash of water.
Ingredient Substitute Suggestions
- Lamb chops can be replaced with mutton chops or beef chops
- Ghee can be swapped for butter or neutral oil
- Sweet chili sauce can be replaced with honey and a little chili sauce
- Fresh dhania can be replaced with parsley if needed
- BBQ spice can be replaced with paprika and a pinch of cumin
