Ingredients 📜

  • 🗹 1 whole Mutton Raan (from Mutton Hub, approx. 2–2.5 kg)
  • 🗹 ½ cup yogurt
  • 🗹 3 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
  • 🗹 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 🗹 3 tbsp mustard oil or ghee
  • 🗹 2 tsp red chili powder
  • 🗹 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 🗹 2 tsp coriander powder
  • 🗹 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 🗹 1 tsp garam masala
  • 🗹 Salt to taste
  • 🗹 Fresh mint and coriander for garnish

Pro Tip: Prick small holes into the meat before marination so the spices penetrate deeply and tenderize the leg evenly.

Step-by-Step Cooking Method 

Step 1: Marinate the Raan.

Clean and pat dry the whole leg. Mix yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, mustard oil, and all the spices into a thick marinade. Rub generously over the meat, ensuring full coverage. Cover and refrigerate overnight (at least 6–8 hours).

Step 2: Roast the Raan.

Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Place the marinated Raan on a roasting tray. Cover with foil and roast for 1 hour.

Step 3: Baste and continue cooking

Remove the foil, baste the Raan with the leftover marinade or juices, and roast it uncovered for another 30–40 minutes, until it’s browned and tender. For a smoky touch, you can also charcoal-smoke it for 5 minutes at the end.

Step 4: Rest and serve

Let the roasted leg rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh mint and coriander leaves. Serve hot with naan, rumali roti, or pulao.

Serving Suggestions 𓌉◯𓇋

  • Slice and serve with mint chutney, lemon wedges, and onion rings
  • Pair with saffron rice or butter naan for a full meal
  • Perfect centrepiece for Eid, weddings, or festive dinners
