Lamb Tandoori Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk yogurt, lemon juice, onion, garlic, ginger, garam masala, paprika, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl until combined.
• Toss lamb and salt into marinade; mix until lamb pieces are coated evenly. Cover mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, or at least 4 hours.
• Skewer lamb pieces so they barely touch. Wipe off excess marinade with a paper towel. Brush with vegetable oil and sprinkle with salt.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Grill skewers on medium heat until lamb springs back to the touch, about 5 to 7 minutes on each side.
• Garnish with red onions, lemon wedges, and chopped cilantro as desired.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together, except lamb and baguette. Place lamb cubes in the yogurt marinade and marinate for 24 to 48 hours in refrigerator. To make the raita, mix all ingredients together and let sit in refrigerator for a couple of hours so flavors can develop. Once lamb has marinated, skewer the lamb pieces and grill over coals and soaked oak or hickory wood chips, making sure to cook them slowly to get to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. Slice open a baguette, slather it with raita, and stuff with grilled lamb. Eat hoagie with ice cold beer.

Steps:

• Put all the yogurt, onion, ginger, garlic, cilantro, garam masala, cumin, coriander, salt, fennel seeds, chile powder, pepper, oil, and lemon juice into a food processor and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a large bowl and stir in the lamb cubes. Mix well to coat the lamb cubes. Cover the bowl and leave to marinate in the refrigerator for as long as possible, preferably overnight. Remove the bowl from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature an hour before cooking.
• Preheat the grill to medium heat or preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Thread the lamb cubes onto the skewers leaving a space between each piece and place under the grill. Cook for around 5 to 6 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, or until tender. Alternatively, cook in an oven for 8 minutes. Baste the skewers with the melted butter and cook for another minute or 2 for slightly pink meat, or longer if you prefer the lamb well done.
• Divide the lamb pieces into five equal portions and place each portion in the center of a warmed tortilla. Top with a handful of the sliced vegetables and a spoonful of chutney. Roll up and serve.

Steps:

• In a bowl combine yogurt with ALL remaining ingredients (except the leg of lamb) whisk to blend well.
• Place the leg of lamb in rack in a roasting pan.
• Coat the leg with yogurt mixture all over.
• Cover the lamb with plastic wrap (do not use foil to cover the lamb).
• Refrigerate for 24 hours.
• Set oven to 375 degrees.
• Roast the lamb uncovered for about 1-1/2 hours (for medium-rare cook until temperature reads 125F on a meat thermometer, make certain that the thermometer does not touch the bone).
• Let rest for 15 minutes before serving.
• Delicious!
