2 teaspoons coriander seeds, ground
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, ground
1 teaspoon black cumin seeds, ground
Seeds from 2 black cardamom pods, ground

1 pound rack of lamb (from ribs), cut into chops
2 tablespoons mustard oil or canola oil
1 cup half and half

1
Thoroughly combine the Ginger Paste, Garlic Paste, coriander, both kinds of cumin, cardamom, cayenne, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt in a small bowl, stirring to make a moist (and potent) rub.

4
Add the lamb chops, rub and all, to the hot oil and sear each side until browned, about 2 minutes per side.
5
Transfer the chops to a serving platter.

Pour the half-and-half into the skillet and bring to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits of rub.
