Slash the lamb several times on both sides. Mix the yogurt with all the marinade ingredients and combine it well. Place a sheet of foil on a roasting tin and put the leg of lamb on it. Then massage the marinade all over it. Cover and chill for a couple of a couple of hours or best leave it in the fridge overnight.

Get the lamb out of the fridge an hour before roasting. Preheat the oven to 180° CircoTherm®. Roast the lamb for 1 hour and 40-45 min on shelf 2 for meat that is a bit pink in the middle. You might have to put a small piece of foil over it in the last 10 minutes if it gets too charred.

Leave it covered and let it rest for 20-25 mins before carving. Enjoy it with a salad or rice or some herby potatoes.

To prepare the potatoes, heat the oil in a pan and add the mustard seeds. Once they sizzle, add the spices and 2 tbsp of water. Add the boiled and cut potatoes to it and mix well. Add the coriander, combine well, and serve with the lamb.
