Chops Masala (Spicy Lamb Chops)

An easy delicious recipe from our neighbor Rabia Abdullah. She experiments a lot with cooking and to-date we regret for not meeting her earlier (a huge miss for a foodie). Anyways, better late than never and hopefully we can make-up for the lost time... hehe...

Lamb chops are an excellent way to start a feast (or rather a heavy luxurious feast). God knows where it originated and no one really cares... Grab a piece, bite into it and ...... (there are no words to express the feeling).
