Ingredients
  • ¾ cup plain yogurt
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt, plus more for serving
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper, plus more for serving
  • 1 ½ teaspoons garam masala
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 ½ teaspoons sweet paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 4 (1-inch-thick) bone-in pork chops
Directions
  1. Prepare the tandoori marinade by whisking together the yogurt, garlic, ginger, salt, ground spices, and lime juice.
  2. Place the pork chops in a baking dish and pour the tandoori marinade over pork chops.
  3. Flip pork chops so that marinade covers both sides.
  4. Cover and refrigerate chops for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
  5. Preheat the grill to 400 F. Remove the pork chops from the marinade and bring them to room temperature.
  6. Grill the pork chops over direct heat for 2–3 minutes per side.
  7. Turn off one burner and move the chops to indirect heat. Cook for 7–9 minutes, or until the chops reach an internal temperature of 140 F.
  8. Remove the chops from the grill, lightly cover with foil, and rest for 5 minutes.
  9. Season with more salt and pepper, if desired, and serve with lime wedges, minced cilantro, and mango chutney, if desired.
