INDIAN TANDOORI SPICED LEG OF LAMB

Indian Tandoori Spiced Leg of Lamb image

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.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

12 best-end lamb chops, flattened to 2cm thick (ask your butcher to do this for you)
green chutney
1 lime, cut into wedges to serve
2 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder
2 tbsp ginger & garlic paste
50ml vegetable oil
2 tsp tomato purée
large pinch of crushed black pepper
2 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp turmeric

Steps:

Put the lamb and all the first marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Chill for at least 2 hrs, and up to 4 hrs.
Blend all the second marinade ingredients together. Remove the lamb from the first marinade and put it in a clean bowl. Add the second marinade and rub it into the lamb, then chill for a further 4 hrs, or overnight.
Light a barbecue with a lid, then barbecue the chops on a high heat until cooked to medium (around 8 mins), making sure the meat isn't directly on the flame to avoid burning the spices. The key is to keep the lid on so the temperature is consistent. Or cook in the oven on a baking tray for 12 mins, and finish off under the grill for 2 mins to crisp them up. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over and green chutney on the side (see our recipe).

Provided by Good Food team

Categories Dinner, Main course

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

8 double-boned lamb best end chops - you will need to ask your butcher for these
juice of 1 lime
3 tbsp malt vinegar
1 tsp chilli powder
125ml mustard oil or vegetable oil, plus extra for frying
85g gram flour (chickpea flour)
4 star anise toasted in a hot pan
3 green chillies
8 garlic cloves
1 small papaya , peeled, seeded and chopped
Fresh mint sauce (see link below)
Tamarind's winter salad (see link below)

Steps:

Marinate the chops in the lime juice, vinegar, chilli powder and a pinch of salt while you make the rest of the marinade.
Heat 100ml of the oil in a small saucepan and add the gram flour, stirring continuously for a minute or two until the flour forms a smooth sandy paste and you begin to smell a nutty aroma. Transfer the paste to a bowl and leave to cool.
Crush the star anise using a pestle and mortar, then tip into a food processor with the chillies, garlic, papaya and the remaining oil and blend to a smooth paste. Mix both pastes over the marinated meat and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours.
To cook the chops, preheat the oven to fan 180C/conventional 200C/gas 6. Lift the chops out of the marinade and wipe off any excess so the chops are just lightly coated. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan and fry the chops in batches for a couple of minutes on each side until browned. Transfer to a roasting tray and roast for 10-20 minutes depending on how pink you like your lamb. Serve the chops with mint sauce and winter salad.
