1. Prepare the yogurt cheese. Then, in a spice or a coffee grinder, grind together the cashews, cardamom pods, fenugreek, and cumin seeds to make a fine powder.
2. In a food processor, process together the garlic, ginger, green chili peppers, and mint until minced. Add the yogurt cheese, lemon juice, ghee (or oil), cashew-spice mixture, garam masala, and salt and process again until smooth.
3. Place the racks of lamb in a large non-reactive dish and, with your dean fingers, coat both sides of each rack with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator at least 12 and up to 24 hours.
4. Preheat the oven to 500°F. Place the marinated racks on a heavy baking sheet and roast on the lowest shelf in the oven until the tips of the bones turn golden brown, about 10 minutes.
5. Change the oven setting to "broil." Then, reposition the racks to ensure proper cooking: With oven mitts on your hands, carefully remove the baking sheet from the bottom shelf and place it 8 to 10 inches from the broiler heating element. Broil until the lamb is very fragrant and golden-brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a platter, or cut the ribs apart, garnish with mint sprigs, and serve.
