Spiced Lamb Riblets

Riblets also known as keel bone, Nenjelumbu in tamil are often cooked in many places. But

usually this is used for making curry or semi gravies. For a different, I am going to make

oven fry today. Riblets are relatively fatty. When slow-cooked in oven they become

incredibly soft, tender. The fatty flavor will add extra tempting after cooked. The rib bone

become handy after cooked properly. You can hold this bone and eat like tandoori. Let’s 'make now.

Ingredients:

Lamb Riblets - 1 lb

Red chilli powder - 1-1/2 tsp

Coriander powder - 2 tsp

Cumin powder - 1 tsp

Garam masala - 1/2 tsp

Pepper powder - ½ tsp

Lemon juice - 3 tsp or juice from ½ lemon

Ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp

Roasted sesame oil/normal sesame oil - 1 tsp

Peanut oil - 1 tsp

Salt as required

Steps

Wash 1 lb of lamb riblets thoroughly. If you find membrane on the riblets, just peel it off.

Then wash completely 3 to 4 times.

Gently remove excess moisture from the lamb riblets using paper towel.

Now in a bowl, add 1 and ½ tsp red chilli powder, 2 tsp coriander powder, ½ tsp garam

masala, ½ tsp black pepper powder, required salt, 3 tsp lemon juice or juice from ½ lemon,

1 tsp ginger garlic paste and mix it all together to bind everything.

Now add 1 tsp roasted sesame oil. If you not have this roasted, you can add normal sesame

oil. Roasted sesame oil will give some strong flavor.

Now mix it once again.

Then add 1 tsp regular vegetable oil or peanut oil and mix it. Now you will get thick paste for

marination.

Place riblets in a baking tray and apply the masala which we made on all riblets. Apply both

sides and all parts.

Cover this with aluminum foil or plastic cover and marinate this for at least 6 hours.

After 6 hours marination, preheat oven for at 350 degree and put the riblets baking tray

inside oven with aluminum foil covered.

Let it cook for 15 to 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, you will see the fat melted from the riblets. You can just ignore this fat.

Transfer Lamb riblets into a plate.
