Method:
First dry roast everything except turmeric powder mentioned under Mandi masala. Then cool it down n make a fine powder using a coffee grinder. Add turmeric powder n set aside. Ur Mandi masala or saudi spice is ready.
Now clean mutton leg n pat dry. Make deep gashes in the meat using a knife. Now in a bowl add mandi masala, ginger garlic paste, lemon juice, lemon zest salt n mix properly n marinate meat with this marinade. Make sure u rub marinade in gashes properly so that meat becomes tender, juicy n yummy. Keep it overnight in the fridge.
Now, let's start cooking, lightly brown onions n add all the whole spices mentioned above. When spices release their aroma in the oil add marinated leg n slit green chillies n turn it few times so that oil covers the meat. Now add water in the required quantity. Plz, keep in mind that we need water for mutton cooking n yakhni both. Now let the mutton cook on slow flame for almost 2.5 - 3 hrs. When meat becomes so tender that it almost leaves the bone that's the point u take ur mutton out of the pan. Add rice in the yakhni, adjust salt n add 1 tsp mandi masala n let it cook. While fry cooked mutton in frying pan so that it got that wow colour. When putting rice on dum place meat on top n red-hot coal too so that our mandi got that BBQ smell too. Put it on dum for 10-15 mins. N voila yummy, juicy not at all spicy Mandi is ready to serve with tomato chutney n yoghurt garlic sauce n salad of yur choice.
