Baked Tandoori lamb Chops

From so long I was thinking of making lamb chops but many things were going through my mind, like how they will turn out, whether they will get cooked properly or not and whether they taste good if baked. But when I saw lamb rack in Costco, I thought of giving it a try and here it is today in my blog which I am sharing for all of my friends to try and let me know how this dish turned out.

Before making the lamb chops, I was thinking this dish as a time consuming one, but once you start the process, this dish will take less time and at the end you can enjoy a very healthy and tasty, delicious food.

Marinate the lamb rack using the marinade ingredients and bake it till done. A perfectly cooked, mouth watering, juicy lamb chops will be ready within no time and this will be a hit among the guests. Marination plays an important role in enhancing the flavors of lamb chops. this can be served along with Indian mint chutney or along with potato wedges or cooked veggies. I served them along with quinoa- veggie soup, a perfect combination. Hope you all might like this.
