Ingredients:

• 1 whole mutton leg (approximately 3-4 lbs or 1.5-2 kg)
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup yogurt
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece ginger, minced
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
• Salt to taste
• Fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, or mint) for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preparing the Marinade:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil, yogurt, minced garlic, minced ginger, lemon juice, black pepper, ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, ground turmeric, red chili powder, and salt.
   • Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

2. Marinating the Mutton Leg:

   • Make deep slits all over the mutton leg to allow the marinade to penetrate the meat.
   • Rub the marinade generously over the mutton leg, ensuring it gets into the slits and covers the entire leg.
   • Cover the marinated mutton leg with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight for best results.

3. Preparing for Roasting:

   • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
   • Remove the marinated mutton leg from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature.
   • Place the mutton leg on a roasting rack in a roasting pan. You can add some vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and onions around the leg for added flavor and a complete meal.

4. Roasting the Mutton Leg:

   • Roast the mutton leg in the preheated oven for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 160°F (71°C) for medium, or 170°F (77°C) for well done.
   • Baste the mutton leg occasionally with the juices from the roasting pan to keep it moist and flavorful.
   • If the mutton leg starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with foil to prevent burning.

5. Resting and Serving:

   • Once the mutton leg is cooked to your desired doneness, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a juicy roast.
   • Garnish with fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, or mint.
   • Carve the mutton leg into slices and serve hot with the roasted vegetables, mint chutney, or your favorite side dishes.
