1. Prepare the yogurt cheese. Then, in a small piece of muslin or 4 layers of folded cheesecloth, loosely tie together the cloves, cinnamon, bay leaves, black and green cardamom pods, fennel seeds, black peppercorns, and nutmeg to make a seasoning pouch.
2. Place in a heavy wok or saucepan (not nonstick) along with the rib chops, milk, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and cook until all the milk has been completely absorbed and the lamb is fragrant and fork-tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool at least 1 hour.
3. Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, mix together the chickpea and rice flours, egg white, ground ginger, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, then add the water and whisk to make a smooth, semi-thick batter.
4. Heat the oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until it registers 325°F to 350°F on a frying thermometer or until a small piece of meat dropped into the hot oil takes 15 to 20 seconds to rise to the top.
5. Mix the yogurt cheese (or sour cream) with the cooked ribs to coat them, then dip each one into the batter. Using tongs, add the rib chops to the hot oil, piece by piece, standing back from the wok and adding as many as the wok will hold at a time without crowding. Deep-fry, turning them with a slotted spatula or tongs until they are crispy and golden. Transfer to a tray lined with paper towels to drain, then transfer to a serving platter and serve hot.
