Tandoori-Spiced Leg of LambNoel Barnhurst

Marinating the lamb for one day in a thick mixture of yogurt, lime juice, and spices intensifies the Indian tastes.

Test-kitchen tip:

Be sure to tent the marinated lamb loosely with aluminum foil. When acidic foods come into contact with foil, a chemical reaction can occur that may alter the flavor and color of the dish.
