Default Tandoori-spiced Leg Of Lamb

I LOVE TANDOORI !!!


TANDOORI-SPICED LEG OF LAMB

Marinating the lamb for one day in a thick mixture of yogurt, lime juice, and spices intensifies the Indian tastes.


1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon grated lime peel
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
2 teaspoons salt
11/2 teaspoons Hungarian sweet paprika
11/2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground fenugreek (optional)
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 6 1/4-pound whole bone-in leg of lamb


Combine yogurt, lime juice, garlic, lime peel, ginger, salt, paprika, coriander, cumin, turmeric, cardamom, dry mustard, cayenne pepper, fenugreek, cloves, and cinnamon in small bowl; whisk to blend. Place leg of lamb on rack set in large roasting pan. Coat leg of lamb with yogurt mixture. Cover lamb loosely with plastic wrap or tent with aluminum foil (do not allow aluminum foil to touch coating) and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Roast leg of lamb uncovered until thermometer inserted into thickest part of meat (not touching bone) registers 125°F for medium-rare, about 1 hour 35 minutes. Let lamb rest 15 minutes before serving.

Test-kitchen tip: Be sure to tent the marinated lamb loosely with aluminum foil. When acidic foods come into contact with foil, a chemical reaction can occur that may alter the flavor and color of the dish.

Makes 8 servings.
