Method to make the Raan

Prepare the Marinade

Grind nutmeg, mace, and cardamoms into a fine powder.
In a large bowl, combine all dry spices, cashew powder, gram flour, ginger, garlic, green chilli paste, raw papaya paste, lemon juice, curd, oil, egg, and the ground spice powder. Mix well into a smooth marinade.

Marinate the Raan

Ask the butcher to make a slit in the bone so it fits in your cooking vessel.
Make deep cuts all over the goat leg so the marinade penetrates well.
Place the leg on a large plate and rub the prepared marinade generously all over it, making sure it goes into the cuts.
Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.

Cook the Raan

Place the marinated goat leg along with all the marinade into a heavy-bottomed cooking vessel.
Add 1 cup of water around the leg, cover, and cook on low heat for 30 minutes.
Turn the leg carefully, cover again, and cook for another 30 minutes.
Repeat once more (total cooking time: about 1½ hours) or until the meat is tender.

Roast the Raan

Heat 4 tbsp oil in a large flat pan.
Carefully lift the goat leg and place it on the pan. Roast on one side until nicely browned, then gently turn and roast the other side for about 5 minutes.

Finish the Marinade

If the leftover marinade is thin, cook it separately until thickened. Add 2 tbsp oil while cooking for a glossy finish.

Serve

Place the roasted raan on a platter, pour the thickened marinade over it, and serve hot with onion rings, lemon wedges, or naan.

Note: I haven’t added any color to this recipe — it’s all-natural. But if you like that rich, restaurant-style reddish look, you can add just ⅛ teaspoon of red food color to the marinade.
