INDIAN TANDOORI SPICED LEG OF LAMB

This is easy to make just marinate the leg of lamb and then roast. I have to say that this is better if made on a rotisserie and cooked over low heat on the barbecue. This must be marinated for 24 hours in the spice mixture. If you are a lover of Indian food, then this is a recipe you will love.

Provided by Jane Hornby

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 11

2kg leg of lamb
150g natural whole-milk yogurt
1 thumb-sized piece ginger , finely grated
3 large garlic cloves , crushed
1 tbsp tomato purée
juice ½ lime
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp crushed chilli flakes
1 tsp fennel seed , lightly crushed
handful coriander , finely chopped

Steps:

  • Stir together the marinade ingredients and season with ½ tsp ground black pepper and 1½ tsp flaky salt. Slash the lamb several times on both sides, then massage the marinade all over it. Seal into a large food bag or non-metallic container and chill overnight (or at least for a few hrs). Let the lamb sit at room temperature for 1 hr before roasting.
  • Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the lamb into a foil-lined roasting tin and roast for 20 mins. Turn the oven down to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and roast for 1 hr 20 mins for meat that's pink near the bone. Cover loosely with foil halfway through cooking or once the marinade has charred and the meat looks golden.
  • Leave the lamb to rest for 20 mins before carving, then serve with lentil & tomato and cucumber salads (see related recipes).

Tips:

  • For the best results, use a high-quality leg of lamb. Look for one that is evenly marbled and has a nice, deep red color.
  • Be sure to trim off any excess fat from the lamb before marinating it. This will help to prevent the lamb from becoming greasy.
  • The yogurt marinade is essential for tenderizing the lamb and infusing it with flavor. Be sure to marinate the lamb for at least 6 hours, or overnight if possible.
  • When grilling the lamb, be sure to use a hot grill. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the lamb, while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
  • Baste the lamb with the remaining marinade while it is grilling. This will help to keep the lamb moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Serve the lamb with your favorite sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

This Indian Tandoori Spiced Leg of Lamb is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any special occasion. The lamb is tender and juicy, and the tandoori spices give it a unique and exotic flavor. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to cook lamb, this recipe is definitely worth trying.
