Let's Get Started
- In a bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, tandoori masala, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, lemon juice, and salt to make the marinade.
- Make deep cuts on the lamb shanks and rub the marinade all over them, ensuring it gets into the cuts. Let it marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Place the marinated lamb shanks in a baking dish and cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
- Remove the foil and broil the lamb shanks for an additional 5 minutes to get a nice charred crust.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with naan bread or steamed rice.
