Instructions
Lamb:
-
In a medium bowl, mix together the yogurt, garlic, ginger, garam masala, turmeric, cayenne, 2 teaspoons of salt, the pepper, and ground cashews.
-
Set the lamb racks in a rimmed baking dish and poke all over with a fork. This will allow the flavors of the marinade to season the meat all the way through.
-
Season the lamb with the remaining teaspoon of salt, then rub the marinade into the meat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 6 to 12 hours.
-
Arrange a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
-
Transfer the marinated lamb, fat-side up to a roasting pan and weave the racks together so they are partially upright.
-
Roast for 15 minutes, then turn the racks over and cook for another 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130° degrees F. Let rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
Yogurt Sauce:
-
In a medium bowl, stir together the yogurt, shallots, sumac, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Garnish the yogurt sauce with pomegranate seeds and mint leaves.
-
Carve the lamb between the rib bones into individual chops. Transfer to a serving platter and serve with the yogurt sauce alongside.
-
Serve and enjoy.
