Directions

Prep the lamb Place the cutlets in a large bowl and add the garlic, ginger, Dark-Roasted Curry Powder, salt, black pepper (to taste) and oil. Use your hands to toss the cutlets in the seasonings until well coated. Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
Cook the lamb Preheat the broiler on high (500 °F). Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
Place the cutlets on the pan and transfer it to the oven. Broil for 6-8 minutes (or until lamb is cooked to your liking), turning the cutlets at the halfway point. Remove the pan from the oven and let the lamb rest for 10 minutes.
Make the brown-butter drizzle Put the butter into a small saucepan set over medium heat. When the butter sputters, after about 2 minutes, add the curry leaves. The butter will foam up. Let cook until fragrant and the curry leaves crisp slightly. Remove the pan from the heat.
Serve Arrange the cutlets on a plate and drizzle the curry leaf butter over them. Garnish cutlet with a crisped curry leaf and offer the lime wedges alongside.

Recipe Note

Notes: Ask your butcher to cut the lamb cutlets (chops) into individual 1-inch-thick cutlets and to French/ trim them to save you some time. To rehydrate dried curry leaves, put them in a small bowl and pour boiling water in to cover. Let steep for 5-10 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
