Time 1h50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
1/2 cup coarsely chopped cucumber
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint leaves, optional
6 tablespoons ancho chile powder
4 teaspoons ground cumin
4 teaspoons ground coriander
4 teaspoons ground fennel
4 teaspoons ground turmeric
2 teaspoons ground cardamom
2 teaspoons ground cloves
2 teaspoons ground chile de arbol
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1/4 cup canola oil
1 boneless (5 to 7-pound) leg of lamb, butterflied
Canola oil, as needed
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Combine the yogurt, pomegranate molasses, cucumber, cumin and black pepper in a bowl. Season with salt, then cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Add the chopped mint just before serving, if desired. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Heat a grill to medium heat.
  • Combine the spices in a small bowl. Stir in enough oil to make a paste and set aside. Brush the lamb leg with some canola oil and season top side of the meat with the curry rub. Let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Season the lamb with salt, to taste. Put it on the grill, spice side down, and cook until slightly charred and a crust as formed. At this point, flip the leg over, close the grill cover and cook to a medium-rare doneness. Remove the meat from the grill to a cutting board, loosely tent it with foil and let it rest for 15 minutes. Thinly slice the lamb, against the grain, and arrange the meat on a serving platter. Serve with the raita.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The lamb was tender, but the curry crust lacked flavor. The pomegranate raita was also a bit too tangy for my taste.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. The lamb was cooked perfectly and the curry crust was flavorful. The pomegranate raita helped to cool down the heat of the curry.
