Ingredients:
* 2.5 kg leg of lamb
* 2 tsp garam masala
* 2 tsp garlic (crushed)
* 2 tsp fresh ginger (chopped)
* 1 tsp salt
* 4 black peppercorns
* 2 tsp black cumin seeds

* 1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
* approx. 9 cups water
* fresh salad greens
* pomegrante potatoes - side dish


preparation:

* Remove as much fat as possible from the lamb (use a sharp knife)
* Using a fork, prick the lamb all over (easier penetration of flavor)
* In a bowl, combine the ginger, garlic, garam masala, black cumin seeds, peppercorns, cloves and chilli powder
* Stir in the lemon juice, mix everything well together
* Spoon mixture all over the lamb, taking care to rub into the meat thus making sure it is well coated
* Set aside for 1/2 hour
* Heat oil in a large roasting pot
* Add the meat and place the whole onion beside it
* Add water to cover the meat then cook in oven for 2 to 3 hours, turn occasionally
* Should water evaporated after a while and the meat isn't tender, add extra water
* Once water has completely evaporated, turn the meat oven to brown the other side
* Transfer the roast to a serving platter and cut into slices
* You can serve the lamb either hot or cold with salad greens of your choice and pomegranate potatoes on the side
