1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2

In a bowl, combine yogurt, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, turmeric, red chili powder, garam masala, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

3

Score the lamb leg with shallow cuts to allow the marinade to penetrate.

4

Rub the marinade all over the lamb leg, ensuring it gets into the cuts.

5

Cover the lamb and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

6

Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté chopped onions until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.

7

Add chopped tomatoes to the onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.

8

Transfer the onion-tomato mixture to a roasting pan and place the marinated lamb leg on top.

9

Cover the roasting pan with foil and roast in the preheated oven for 1.5 hours.

10

Remove the foil and roast for an additional 30-45 minutes until the lamb is browned and cooked to your liking.

11

Check the internal temperature; it should read 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.

12

Let the lamb rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.

13

Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
