Lumina Lamb Loin, Garam Masala, Kashmiri Chile, Ginger, Garlic, Turmeric, Ghee

Chef Eric Valdez of Dhamaka | New York

“The lamb loin is marinated with garam masala, Kashmiri chile, and chickpea flour. The Kashmiri chile has a very smoky and spicy flavor that gives the dish a unique taste, and the chickpea flour gives it a little crunchy coating that pairs well with the tender lamb loin. This dish is usually cooked at home in Kashmir. It’s not a commercial product so we’re inspired to make a version of it so that a lot more people will experience the beauty of the dish.” — Chef Eric Valdez
