Shinoo if you want desi style then try marinating with the usual spices and lemon juice or yogurt and just bake away.

Re: ChaanpeiN- Help plz

^Yeah I want the desi version. Problem is that mine turn out rather bland while I want them to be juicy and a bit spicey. Darr darr ke masalay daalti hooN cuz aggar zyaada dall jaayen then u have a problem. I'm basically looking for a good ratio of spices/lassan/adrak/yoghurt/lemon

If it was possible to taste while marinating then it wouldn't be a problem

I know what you mean Shinoo! I just dip a finger in the masala and taste the tip of my finger because like most people i am not too keen on chakhing raw gosht but in some cases you gotta do it :( OR mariante the day before you are going to cook and then just bake one chop to see if the masala tastes right.

Sorry i am not much help but i just eyeball the ingredients, rarely ever measure.

^hehehe beware you don't get a food poisening (I've had it once because of raw meat so am very cautious) Anyway normally I don't measure anything either while cooking regular salans etc. Sab andaaze se daalti hoon and alhamdulillah never messed up so far. But somehow with chaanpeiN and tikka etc I just don't know how much of everything, am too careful maybe :-/

Re: ChaanpeiN- Help plz

tikka and chanpain is the only thing I dun measure the ingredients, but for salans I have to measure the right ratio to make the right salan. I am plain weird!!!

I usually use shan masala, 1tbsp ginger-garlic paste, 1tbsp green paste(taht is green chilies,dhaniya and podina), and half cup yogurt...marinate it for 2-3 hours and then just bake it in the oven!! It turns out just fine. :-)

Guys, I will try this recipe over the weekend (found it on the net)! Will post pictures of the end result insh'allah!

Ingredients
Serves 4

1 pint of live natural yogurt
1 Tablespoon Cumin powder
1 Tablespoon garam massala
1 Teaspoon Coriander powder
1 Teaspoon Turmeric powder
1 Teaspoon chilli powder
Juice 1 lemon
8 cloves garlic - crushed
1 inch grated ginger
Red food colouring
8 Lamb chops
1 Lemon

Method
Mix the spices, colouring, lemon juice, ginger and garlic up into a paste with a little water and stir in well with the yogurt to make a tandoori marinade. Remove the fat from the chops and marinate in the marinade for 2-60 hours. Preheat the oven to it's highest heat for at least 20 minutes. Shake off excess marinade and place chops on a wire rack in the oven. Cook for 20 minutes and check the chops are cooked by cutting into one slightly, serve with a wedge of lemon.
