This recipe holds a special place in my heart. This mouthwatering dish is the signature creation of my beloved Uncle/Mamoo at every Eid party. It was the centrepiece of the feast and everyone in the family gathered around the dining table, eyes filled with anticipation, waiting for it to be served. Marinated to perfection, the meat would be infused with a blend of aromatic spices and slowly roasted to achieve a succulent tenderness.

I'm sharing this recipe to remember the joyous gatherings that surrounded this remarkable dish, as well as the expertise and love that went into it.

Combine this ground powder with the remaining ingredients and Apply the marinade on the leg thoroughly for maximum flavour.
