Tandoori Lamb, an exquisite Indian dish, brimming with the flavors of traditional Indian spices, is a testament to India's rich culinary history. Originating from the kitchens of the Indian royalty, this dish features succulent lamb marinated in a tantalizing concoction of yogurt and a medley of spices, then cooked to perfection in a Tandoor, a traditional Indian clay oven. The result is a deeply flavored, aromatic lamb delicacy that is tender, juicy and infused with the smoky essence of the Tandoor.

Ingredients

Lemon wedges (for garnish)
Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
Vegetable oil (as needed)
Salt (to taste)
Red chili powder (1 teaspoon)
Coriander powder (1 teaspoon)
Cumin powder (1 teaspoon)
Turmeric powder (1/2 teaspoon)
Tandoori masala (2 tablespoons)
Lemon juice (2 tablespoons)
Ginger (1 tablespoon, finely grated)
Yogurt (1 cup)
Lamb leg (2 lbs, cut into pieces)

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine yogurt, finely grated ginger, lemon juice, tandoori masala, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well to make a marinade.
Add the lamb pieces to the marinade and coat them evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Thread the marinated lamb pieces onto skewers and place them on a baking tray lined with aluminum foil.
Brush the lamb pieces with vegetable oil to keep them moist during cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the lamb is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Remove the skewers from the oven and let the lamb rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with lemon wedges.
