Vadouvan-Spiced Lamb Ribs

From Food and Wine Magazine. Vadouvan is a French-style curry powder, with members of the allium family adding flavor. It is a mild curry. There is at least one recipe posted, and you can also get it online and from specialty shops. The ribs do release a fair amount of fat, so you want to be sure to use a pan with sides. The overnight marinating in the dry rub is not included in the prep time.
