SERVINGS

YIELD

1 5-pound mutton roast

Ingredients

1 (5 pound) LM Meat mutton leg, trimmed of excess fat
4 cups plain yogurt
4 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons ground red chile pepper
2 tablespoons chaat masala
2 tablespoons garam masala

1 tablespoon salt, or to taste
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon ground turmeric
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 cup vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1
Cut deep slashes about 2 inches apart across the lamb.

Step 2
Mix yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, ground red chile, chaat masala, garam masala, salt, red pepper flakes, turmeric, black pepper, cumin, and coriander together in a bowl. Whisk until well combined. Apply marinade generously all over the lamb in a dish; turn over and apply more marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours to overnight.

Step 3
Heat oil in a large cast-iron pot over medium heat. Place the lamb leg gently into the bottom of the pot. Cover and place a heavy weight on top of the lid. Reduce heat to low and cook for 1 hour. Turn leg over and cook for another hour.

Step 4
Continue cooking lamb until liquid is mostly evaporated and meat is tender and golden, about 15 minutes more. Oils should start collecting at the edges of the lamb. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Transfer meat to a serving dish.
