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.

LEG OF LAMB, NORTH INDIAN STYLE



Leg Of Lamb, North Indian Style image

Lamb has a lot of flavor, and stands up to strong spices brilliantly. Here is a recipe for boneless leg of lamb that you could grill, broil or roast in a hot oven. Regardless, the result is a crisp, crunchy and highly seasoned exterior with a tender, sweet interior. Even better, because the boned leg is invariably irregular in thickness, the meat will be cooked to different stages of doneness. If, for example, you cook it so that the thickest part of the meat reaches 125 degrees (rare), the thinner parts will vary from medium rare to nearly well done at the edges. Because lamb also tastes great at all stages of doneness, this will make for a genuine crowd-pleaser.

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large onion, peeled
4 cloves garlic, peeled
1 inch-long piece of ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon cardamom seeds (if you have pods, crush and remove seeds)
6 whole cloves
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 3-inch-long cinnamon stick
10 black peppercorns
2 dried small red chilies, or 2 teaspoons dried red chili flakes, or to taste, optional
1 butterflied leg of lamb, 3 to 4 pounds
Salt

Steps:

  • Combine onion, garlic and ginger in food processor and grind to paste. Press through fine strainer to extract liquid; discard liquid. Toast spices in small skillet over medium heat, shaking frequently until aromatic, about 3 minutes. Grind in spice mill or coffee grinder until very fine.
  • Trim lamb of fat; sprinkle with salt. Combine spices and onion mix, and rub over meat. Poke small holes in lamb and stick some of the mixture into each one. If time allows, fold meat in half, wrap tightly in plastic and refrigerate for a day.
  • Start charcoal or wood fire or heat gas grill or broiler; fire should be quite hot, and the rack at least 4 inches from heat. Grill or broil until nicely browned, even a little charred, on both sides, about 20 minutes, until internal temperature at the thickest part is about 125 degrees. Some will be rare, some nearly well done. Let rest for 5 minutes and slice thinly.

ROAST LEG OF LAMB

Cooking peeled potatoes in the pan around the roast is yummy. The only other things you need are gravy made from the pan drippings and a fresh vegetable.

4 cloves garlic, sliced
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
5 pounds leg of lamb

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Cut slits in the top of the leg of lamb every 3 to 4 inches, deep enough to push slices of garlic down into the meat. Salt and pepper generously all over the top of lamb, place several sprigs of fresh rosemary under and on top of the lamb. Place lamb on roasting pan.
  • Roast in preheated oven until the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness, about 1 3/4 to 2 hours. Do not overcook the lamb, the flavor is best if meat is still slightly pink. Let rest at least 10 minutes before carving.
