MIX FOR THE MARINATION

FOR THE GRAVY

FOR THE GARNISH

To prepare the first marination: FORCEFULLY rub - as in massage - the kid/lamb racks with chilli powder. Repeat the process with salt, garlic paste, ginger paste and finally with vinegar. (Each of these ingredients is to be rubbed separately, and not as mixture). Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

For the studding, using a cooking needle stud the fleshiest meat of the racks with garlic flakes and the spices.

For the braising, rub the racks with oil, arrange in a roasting tray, add the remaining ingredients and enough water to cover the racks. Braise in a preheated oven (400o F) until the liquor begins to boil. Lower the oven temperature to 150o F and braise for two-and-a-half hours. Remove and discard the liquor. Brush the racks with olive oil and keep aside.
