8 to 10 American lamb rib chops, about 2 pounds, cut 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick
1 cup yogurt, drained in a cheesecloth-lined strainer or coffee filter for 2 to 4 hours, can substitute for 1 cup sour cream or creme fraiche
1/4 cup malt vinegar
1 lemon, juiced
8 cloves garlic, peeled and finely minced
1 [3-inch] piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 tablespoon garam masala
1 tablespoon cumin, toasted
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground mace
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons canola oil

1
Cut three or four deep slashes in each of the lamb chops, taking care not to cut all the way through the chop.
2
Combine the yogurt, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, Garam Masala, toasted cumin, cardamom, cayenne pepper, mace, and nutmeg in a gallon-sized reusable plastic bag.
3
Add the lamb chops, then turn to coat them in marinade and refrigerate for four hours or even overnight.
4
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (you should be able to hold your hand five inches above the grate for no more than three to four seconds).
5
Add the oil to the marinade bag, reseal, and massage the chops to incorporate.
6
Transfer the lamb chops to a baking sheet and let the lamb rest for five minutes.

Brush each lamb chop with melted butter and place on grill.
