Slow Baked Spiced Mutton Leg

Step 1: Prep The Meat

1. Prick the mutton leg all over with a fork or skewer. Leave it out briefly, then refrigerate while you prepare the marinade.

Step 2: Make the Marinade

1. Mix all spices, ginger-garlic paste, yogurt, and lemon juice into a smooth paste. Rub the marinade thoroughly onto the mutton leg, making sure it seeps into the pricked holes. Cover and refrigerate overnight for deep flavor.

Step 3: Bake

1. • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. • Place mutton in parchment paper with 1/2 cup water, wrap in foil.
3. • Bake 1 hour at 400°F, then reduce to 375°F (190°C) and bake 2 more hours.

Step 4: Serve

1. Unwrap carefully and serve hot with naan, rice, or roasted veggies. Juicy, flavorful, and perfectly spiced!
