Lamb Barra Kebab - Karam Sethi
“Lamb Barra Kebab, meaning ‘best end chops’, is a delicately spiced dish, cooked in a griddle pan, and meant to fall off the bone. A paste is created with yogurt and spices which should fully cover the lamb chops. Allowing the chops to marinate overnight produces the best results as they become more succulent and easier to cook. Kashmiri chilli powder is a natural colorant and gives the chops a deep burnt orange colour. Serve with mooli salad as a main dish or as part of a selection of mains.” Karam Sethi, gymkhanalondon.co.uk.
