Ingredients

  1. 2 to 3 French-cut racks of lamb, for approximately 16 large or 20 medium-size chops
  2. 2 cups white wine
  3. 1 cup grainy mustard
  4. 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  5. 4 cups whipping cream
  6. 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  7. 1 teaspoon paprika
  8. 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  9. 1 tablespoon dried green fenugreek flakes (known as “kasuri methi”)
  10. 1 cup fresh lemon juice
  11. 4 tablespoons canola oil
  12. 2 tablespoons crushed garlic
  13. 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

Instructions

  1. Cut chops from the racks of lamb and place in a large bowl. Add the wine, mustard, and salt; cover and set aside in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the cream, salt, paprika, cayenne, fenugreek flakes, and lemon juice. In a medium size heavy pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute until golden in color; add the turmeric, stir, and cook for 1 minute. Add the cream mixture, stir, and cook over low to medium heat for a few minutes. Keep warm until ready to serve.
  3. Meanwhile, preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove lamb from marinade and grill the chops just before serving; they are best when served piping hot off the grill. Grill on each side for a couple minutes or until medium-rare. Remove from the heat and either pour the cream curry over the grilled chops or use the cream curry as a dipping curry for the chops.

My 5 stars aren’t for this recipe as written, but rather for the CORRECT recipe which is delightful, and for which Vij deserves all 5 stars! Food Network seems to have messed up the ratios on this one though. There are slight variations in the numerous copies of this recipe floating around the web; however, the ratios here appear to be VERY off.

Here is the correct ratio of ingredients (intended for 30 med. chops, so adjust accordingly if you are going for the 20 chops indicated above):

Lamb
1/4 cup sweet white wine
3/4 cup grainy yellow mustard
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
4 lbs French-cut racks of lamb, in chops

Curry Sauce
4 cups whipping cream
1 tbsp salt
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tbsp dried green fenugreek leaves
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup canola oil
3 tbsp finely chopped garlic
1 tsp turmeric

I agree with Marie. How could you possibly rate this recipe without trying it, or, after using a prepared curry? If you follow this very easy recipe you will have a magnificent lamb dish and a nice change from the usual herb or nut crusted rack. This is a must try.

Did you mean “too” complicated? It looks sd if spelling is too complicated for you, also!

Did you even try to make this recipe and taste it?

If you are a serious cook as I am, most of the ingredients should be staples in your kitchen. The only ingredient I didn’t have was the fenugreek flakes. but, I have several ethnic stores within a few miles where I can easily purchase such ingredients.

How hard is it to take out half a dozen spices and mix them in with some cream?Or are you too lazy, too? I use at least that many different spices for my spaghetti sauce – no big deal to shake, shake, shake! And the results are certainly worth it!
