Step 1
Pat lamb chops dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder.
Step 2
Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Sear chops 2 minutes per side without moving — they should look deeply browned and char on edges.
Step 4
Push chops to the side. Add minced garlic to the empty pan space, cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Toss chops with garlic and cilantro. Squeeze half the lime over the top. Transfer to a plate.
Step 6
Serve chops hot with mint jelly on the side and remaining lime wedge for squeezing.
