Spiced Marinated Lamb Chops with Garlicky Yogurt

These TENDER quick-cooking lamb chops make dinner feel instantly fancy. Lamb is my FAV. kind of meat!!
(serves 4)

1&1/2 cups whole-milk plain Greek yogurt
2 T. freshly squeezed* lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 t. ground cumin
1 t. ground coriander
3/4 t. ground turmeric
1/4 t. ground allspice
2 lb. rib, shoulder or loin lamb chops (I choose loin*)
2 T. veg. oil, divided
Mint sprigs*, for garnish

Combine yogurt, lemon juice, and garlic in a med. bowl; season with S&P. Transfer 1/2 cup yogurt mixture to a small bowl and set aside for serving. Stir cumin, coriander, turmeric, and allspice into remaining yogurt mixture. Season lamb chops with S&P. Using your hands, evenly coat all side of chops with spiced yogurt mixture, avoiding the bone. Let chops sit at room temp. for 30 mins. or cover and chill up to 12 hours. Heat 1 T. oil in a large skillet over med.-high heat. Wipe off excess marinade from lamb chops and cook half until nicely browned, about 3 mins. per side (the yogurt will help them take on color quickly). Remove chops from skillet and pour off fat (no need to wipe out skillet). Repeat with remaining 1 T. oil and remaining chops. Serve the lamb chops, garnished with mint sprigs, with the reserved yogurt mixture alongside.
