Mix together yogurt, the juice of half a lemon, and spices, and then set the mixture aside.
1 ½ Cups Plain Non-Fat Greek Yogurt, 1 teaspoon Cumin, 1 teaspoon Turmeric, 1 teaspoon Garam Masala, 1 teaspoon Curry Powder, 1 teaspoon Minced Garlic or Garlic Powder, ½ teaspoon Cinnamon, 1 teaspoon Paprika, ½ Tablespoon Habanero, ½ Lemon

Separate the rack of lamb into individual chops.
2 Pounds Lamb Chops
To add some tangy flavor, squeeze the juice from half a lemon over the lamb chops.
½ Lemon
To prepare the lamb chops, sprinkle salt, black pepper, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder (granulated garlic is our preference) onto them.
1 teaspoon Salt, 1 teaspoon Black pepper, 1 teaspoon Minced garlic or garlic powder

First, take the lamb chops and spread the spiced yogurt mixture over them. Then, place them in a dish or a Ziploc storage bag.
Marinate the lamb (covered or in a ziploc storage bag) in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to overnight.
To remove most of the marinade, you can use a knife or a paper towel. It's not necessary to remove every last bit of it.
To prepare your lamb chops, heat some olive oil in a saute pan and add the chops. Cook them on each side until they reach your desired level of doneness. We recommend cooking for 3 minutes on each side, but you can use a meat thermometer to ensure they are cooked to your liking.
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
Once finished, remove it from the heat.
Garnish with finely chopped cilantro or parsley.
1 Cup Cilantro
This dish can be paired with either rice or potatoes for a satisfying meal. Enjoy!!!
