Topic: Lamb Chops lahore kebab house

[fazalv]

Hello everyone, am a new member, loving this site. Excellent.

May I be bold enough to request a recipe for lamb chops and seekh kebab as served at lahore kebab house in E1.

They are the finest I have eaten and would like to recreate the same succulent taste at home.

I do have access to a mini tandoor oven.

Any assistance will be appreciated.

I tried the following lamb chops, they did not turn out the same:

8 lamb cutlets

(for the marinade)

2 large cloves of garlic

1 thumb sized piece of ginger

2 green chillies, seeds removed


1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon chilli powder

1 teaspoon turmeric

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Juice of 1 lemon

100g natural yoghurt

I can't help you with your lamb chops, I am afraid.  But if you have succeeded in replicating their kebabs, PLEASE share the recipe with all of us : to my mind (and my wife's), they are the finest kebabs we have ever tasted; in comparison, all others are as generic cola is to Coke or Pepsi.

P.S. Assuming you mean Lahore 1, Commercial Road !

Hi Phil,

I have not had success with the kebabs or the chops I am afraid...

Only churning out virgin cola!!

Welcome  fazalv

This is Pakistani BIR and there are very few Pakistani recipes on this site.
Mostly Bangladeshi BIR, highly unlikely that you would be able to match the Lahore
unless you begged a recipe off their Cook.

Not much help, but hey!
cheers Chewy

Madhur Jaffrey recently visited the Lahore for her Curry Nation series. Unfortunately the lamb chops recipe was not one of them. If you go onto her website http://www.madhur-jaffrey.com/ you an make an enquiry and she may be kind enough to help out.

I have fond memories of the original Lahore from over 20 years ago when me and my work mates used to drop in and we would've been the only white faces in there. A slap up meal with chicken and lamb tikka, kebabs all round, chicken and lamb curries, roti, rice etc would work out at less than a fiver each...MMmmmmm what memories!

If you like those from the Lahore I wonder if you had tried the ones at Tayyabs 83-89 Fieldgate St, London, Greater London?

No recipe unfortunately but a good article on Lahore and Tayyabs
