Directons :

In small skillet, heat oil and cook curry powder over low heat, stirring until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Cool and stir in garlic and gingerroot. Dip chops in mixture to coat each lightly. Place lamb in plastic bag and marinate at room temperature 1 hour or up to 6 hours in refrigerator, but bring to room temperature about 30 minutes before grilling.

BANANA CHUTNEY:

In toaster oven or conventional oven at 350°F (180°C), toast peanuts in small baking pan until golden - to 10 minutes. Cool and coarsely chop.

Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mash bananas with fork and stir in vinegar, raisins, gingerroot, cayenne and peanuts. Let sit, covered, at room temperature 1 hour. (The chutney should not be made a long time ahead, but should have 1 hour to let flavour develop). Garnish with sprig of coriander to serve.

Place chops on oiled grill 4" to 6" (10cm to 15cm) above medium-hot coals or on medium-high setting and grill about 5 minutes per side for rare. Serve accompanied with chutney.
