Directions

1. Combine yogurt, lemon juice, and garlic in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper.
2. Transfer ½ cup yogurt mixture to a small bowl and set aside for serving. Stir cumin, coriander, turmeric, and allspice into remaining yogurt mixture.
3. Season lamb chops with salt and pepper. Using your hands, evenly coat all sides of chops with spiced yogurt mixture (avoiding the bone if they are frenched). Let chops sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, or cover and chill up to 12 hours.
4. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Wipe off excess marinade from lamb chops and cook half until nicely browned, about 3 minutes per side (the yogurt in the marinade will help them take on color quickly).
6. Remove chops from skillet and pour off fat (no need to wipe it out).
7. Repeat with remaining 1 tbsp oil and remaining chops.
8. Serve lamb chops with reserved yogurt mixture alongside.
