Lamb Pot Roast (Indian-Style)

Lamb Pot Roast (Indian-Style)

This Indian-style Lamb Pot Roast is an exquisitely aromatic and deeply flavorful dish where a large cut of lamb, such as a shoulder or leg, is first marinated in a vibrant paste of toasted spices like cumin, coriander, and fennel seeds, fiery red chilies, ginger, garlic, and tangy yogurt, which tenderizes the meat and infuses it with complexity before it is slow-cooked to succulent perfection in a heavy pot with a masala base of caramelized onions, tomatoes, and additional whole spices like cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves, creating a luxuriously thick and richly layered gravy that clings to the fall-apart tender meat, resulting in a profoundly hearty and celebratory centerpiece best enjoyed with fluffy basmati rice, warm naan, or roti to soak up every last bit of the spiced sauce.

Elevate your weeknight dinner with this exquisite herb-crusted chicken, served alongside perfectly roasted garlic potatoes and crisp-tender green beans for a complete, restaurant-quality meal. The star of the dish is a chicken breast, pounded to an even thickness for ideal cooking, which is then generously coated in a vibrant, homemade crust of panko breadcrumbs, fresh parsley, thyme, rosemary, and a hint of lemon zest, pan-seared until impossibly golden brown and juicy within. Meanwhile, rustic chunks of potato are tossed with minced garlic and olive oil, roasting until their exteriors are wonderfully crisp and their interiors are fluffy and infused with garlicky goodness. Finally, fresh green beans are quickly sautéed in the same pan used for the chicken, absorbing the delicious leftover herb and chicken fond, and finished with a squeeze of lemon juice to add a bright, fresh contrast that ties the entire elegant, flavorful, and satisfying dish together.
