Ingredients

1/4 cup curry powder

1 tablespoon coarse salt

12 center-cut lamb chops

2 tablespoons canola oil

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine curry powder and salt in a shallow bowl. Coat lamb chops thoroughly on all sides.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, and add oil. When hot, add lamb chops, working in batches so as not to overcrowd pan; cook until well browned on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet.

Roast until chops are cooked to desired doneness, 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare. Remove from oven; serve hot.
