Rabbit with Mustard Tandoori Style Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 whole rabbit
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt
• 3 tablespoons mustard
• 1 tablespoon garam masala
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 tablespoon turmeric
• 1 tablespoon cumin powder
• 1 tablespoon coriander powder
• 1 tablespoon garlic paste
• 1 tablespoon ginger paste
• 1 lemon (juiced)
• Salt (to taste)
• Oil (for cooking)

Instructions

1. Clean the rabbit thoroughly, removing any excess fat or organs.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine plain yogurt, mustard, garam masala, chili powder, turmeric, cumin powder, coriander powder, garlic paste, ginger paste, lemon juice, and salt. Mix the marinade well.
3. Place the rabbit in a large, shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Coat the rabbit evenly with the marinade and allow it to rest for at least 1 hour.
4. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
5. Heat oil in a large oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. Add the rabbit and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the rabbit is browned on the outside.
6. Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the rabbit is cooked through.
7. Remove the pan from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
