To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

For the Tandir Lamb Chops:

- 8 lamb chops
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp coriander
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 cup olive oil

For the Pomegranate Glaze:

- 1 cup pomegranate juice
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp water

For the Mint Chutney:

- 1 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, cumin, coriander, paprika, and garlic powder. Rub the spice mixture onto both sides of the lamb chops.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lamb chops and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until browned. Transfer the lamb chops to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until cooked to your desired level of doneness.
While the lamb chops are cooking, make the pomegranate glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the pomegranate juice, honey, and balsamic vinegar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, until the mixture has thickened slightly. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water, then add to the saucepan and whisk until the glaze has thickened. Set aside.
To make the mint chutney, combine the mint leaves, cilantro leaves, chopped onion, lemon juice, water, salt, and sugar in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
To serve, drizzle the pomegranate glaze over the lamb chops and serve with a dollop of mint chutney on top. This dish is sure to impress your guests with its beautiful appearance and delicious taste.
