MUTTON LEG ROAST
Ingredients
- 3.5-4 kg mutton leg
- 2 cups full fat yoghurt
- 2 tablespoon salt
- 2 tablespoon red chilli powder
- 2 tablespoon garam masala
- 3 tablespoon coriander powder
- 3 tablespoon cumin powder
- 5 tablespoon ginger paste
- 1/2 cup vinegar
- food colour
- 1/2 cup oil
- coriander leaves and lemon
Instructions
- In a bowl, pour yoghurt and add all other marination ingredients. Then mix well.
- Once mixed well, add orange food color and mix. Set aside this mixture.
- Now for the preparation of the lamb leg, firstly make slight cuts on the whole leg. Then pour the mixture all over the leg in a way that it goes inside the cuts. Marinate 8-24 hours in the fridge.
- Now take a big Wok / Kara-hi and add some oil.
- When oil is heated up, put the marinated lamb leg into it and fry from all sides for almost 10-15 minutes, 5minutes for each side.
- Once done, turn the flame to low heat. Add the leftover marination mixture all over the leg.
- Now cover the lid and cook for 2 hours on low heat.
- After that, remove the cover, change the leg’s side, and cook for more 2 hours on low heat.
- Once done, serve the roasted lamb leg with its gravy as a sauce or you make it dry as well.
- Now do the Charcoal smoke for 5minutes for amazing smoky flavor. Now it is ready to serve and enjoy.
Notes
- Lemon juice can be added instead of Vinegar.
- If you like to make it spicy, then you can add more red chilli powder as well as more salt according to your taste.
- There is no need to add meat tenderizer as a lot of vinegar is already added in the marination mixture which is a natural meat tenderizer.
- While spreading the leftover marination, if you don’t have enough marination then you can add 1-2 cups of water to make it thin mixture.
