Rosemary is not an Indian herb. But my years in California often prompt me to sneak some into my Indian preparations, especially since it marries well with the usual Indian flavors.

1. Prepare the yogurt cheese and the ginger-garlic paste. Then, in a spice or coffee grinder, grind together the peppercorns, cloves, green. cardamom pods, and black cardamom seeds. Remove to a small nonstick skillet and mix in the ground coriander, cumin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Roast, stirring and shaking the skillet, over medium heat until the spices are a few shades darker and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
2. In a bowl, mix together the yogurt cheese (or sour cream), ginger-garlic paste, rosemary, roasted spices, and oil.
3. Place the lamb chops in a non-reactive bowl. Add the yogurt mixture and mix well, making sure all the pieces are well-coated with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator at least 4 and up to 24 hours.
4. Leaving the marinade behind, transfer the chops to a large nonstick skillet and cook, turning once or twice over medium-high heat, until completely dry and well-browned, about 10 minutes.
5. Mix about 1 cup water to the reserved marinade and add it to the skillet. Cover and cook over medium heat until the chops are very tender with a thick sauce clinging to them, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with scallion greens and rosemary sprigs, and serve.
